Where is Humanity

Men, women and children
fleeing for their lives
Leaving behind
Their homeland and all belongings.

Any time bullets or bombs can kill them,
Tiger or lion can devour them,
They may be drowned in river or sea
Hostile weather may suck their lives
They may be wiped
By hunger, thirst or disease.

What these innocent people have done
What is their sin to get the punishment of death
What is their fault that
to such torture  they are subjected?

Did a separate God create these people?
Is God a German or Jew?
Is God a Muslim or Hindu?
Is God Black or white?
To which race does He  belong?

Oh God,
We are not humans
As we close our eyes,
When humanity is killed.

Oh God, Jew or German,
Hindu, Muslim or Christian,
Black or white,
Please,
Please, save the Mankind.
