Is Mankind Kind ?

Is Human Humane ? 

The blaze of the sun shines out tonight,
Brightness is dark, darkness is bright
The dumb can sing, the blind can write,
Sadness' joy will reach its height.

Truth has exhausted-the earth is at loss
Love & peace ? Hate will toss.
Gone are those days-rejoices no more.
For man is here for his destruction's chore.

Many an invention he has made.
Many a milestones he has laid.
But the scars will always remain.
Is mankind kind ? Is human humane ?

Since the day he set foot upon the earth.
Much to the unsolved & unknown's mirth.
He robbed & killed, but created.
A hated position for himself, he negotiated.

A tight situation for everyone he brought,
The whole world was his, that's what he thought
"Earth is the place where humans dwell"
But nothing remains-no fragrance to smell.

Many an invention he had made,
many a milestone he had laid.
Today not even the scars remain,
Neither does the kindness of mankind,
Nor the humanity of the humane....
