Why Can Humans Not Get Along with One Another?

The poem talks about the downfall of the human race.

It seems to be impossible for us to live amicably with each other.

The chief reason is that we do not have love in our hearts.

Most people only think about themselves and their families.

There really is no fellow feeling among mankind.

Selfishness and haughtiness pervade the whole world.

Adults display a me-first attitude, likewise children.

Everybody tries to outwit and outdo others to become the best.

 

Humans have neither patience nor understanding.

A lack of the ability to reason leads to strife and contestation.

We are intolerant of the idiosyncrasies of others.

The ones with privilege oppress and dominate the lower classes.

Peace and unity cannot exist where there is injustice.

Men hate and kill one another because of politics and racism.

Discord and hostility among the nations continue to arise.

 

Few people care about kindness and brotherly love.

We become enemies because we differ with each other on issues.

Varied religious beliefs cause a division in every society.

Sad to say, friendship is contingent on agreement.

A social relation that is built on hypocrisy cannot stand.

We do to others the things we do not want them to do to us.

Some persons are too arrogant to treat others as equals.

Will humans ever be able to love one another with sincerity?
