Human Error
|

By MEL-. Suddenly had many ideas yesterday. Actually wrote this in the wee hours, like around 3 am. Lol. I usually have inspiration at this time and have difficulty sleeping -.-. How weird. How do you find this poem? I personally find it too dramatic and exaggerating, haha. Sounds like a plea ;O


To even think of it is revolting
The way we make hay of scandals
And forget where the "hay" came from.

When we put the blame on others
As soon as we realise our own worthless lives
Are at stake
Place the bets on that wooden table
Make wagers on meaningless activities
Look before you leap
Even before calamity strikes,
IT'S TOO LATE.

The faithless accuse God
for not helping His people
for ignoring the plight of the poor
for leaving His son to die on the cross
for being the wicked's accomplice
for letting the rich prosper and the poor die
for allowing such tragedies and other disasters to occur
The last straw is when
they claim there is no God

They are not the only ones.

Everyone of us
lies, cheats, steals,
lusts for, kills, murders
In one way or another
..destroys another life.
We do not have to be arrested
to show how guilty we really are.

Talk about fate, destiny, luck and fortune
..We barely doubt.
But when it comes to God and religion
We ask so many questions and create so many unnecessary debates
As if we knew everything about this life.

How hypocritical can we get?
We flatter somebody, but criticise them in our hearts
We preach about a million rights, but do not genuinely accept each other.
When a war occurs, we start a press conference, and the minister babbles on
About how inhumane and unlawful it is
When most of the time, wars arise as a result of political tensions!

Aggression and violence,
Unrest and disputes,
Pain, hurt and anger
the loss of loved ones and
'an eye for an eye'
Earthquakes and floods,
Global warming and climate change,
Hunger and poverty,
Death and mortal suffering,
Aggravating wounds and exterminating lives-

A heart that breeds hatred
Is the same heart that loves.

When we hurt someone else
Whether physically or emotionally,
We often do not understand or CARE to understand
what the other is feeling
Emotions are complicated and explicit
We can never have and show enough of them.

Curse the sun for hiding behind dark clouds
Curse the downpour for keeping us indoors
Curse everybody who seems to be the root of our problems

Do we ever reflect properly?

Our eyes do not see, they merely look.
Our ears do not listen, they merely hear.

Predict and prophesy
Who do WE think we are?

If you are reading this
There will surely be a part of you
that wants to argue, to
justify.

Ultimately,
what is really RIGHT what is deemed a flaw, an error?
We think we see and believe,
but all of us
ALL OF US-
we need to listen with our hearts
And speak from deep down in our souls, not from those
wretched, sinful lips

Search the heart thoroughly
And give it away.

I pen all of these words down
for I do not believe that fate has a role in anything
what can possibly exist
for what is deceased
Fate is a result of human error.

"For the world is nothing but a charade
In which we create our own fate."
