Duty Of Mankind

By Medha Angadi

Where there are minds filled with intelligence,

But divided by the barriers of difference;

Where there is insecurity

Caused by insensitive sorority

There lies the duty of mankind

To help them rise and not drown

Where the heart says “show your talent”

But the mind says “They’ll judge you”,

The mature minds hide

There lies the duty of mankind

To help them rise and not drown

Where a mind is forced to play

A different mind thrives to be in its place

Where indifference and vengeance is caused

The crowd divides, being misused

There lies the duty of mankind

To help them rise and not drown

Where a mindful person is suppressed

Just like trees being massacred

And a book full of knowledge being torn apart,

There lies the duty of mankind

To help them rise and not drown

Where a mind is not known to stand up for itself,

And is convinced they’re the only ones

There lies the duty of mankind

To show them they’re not alone

To help them rise and not drown
