Civilization

Civilization

I’m an Asian
So, I’m civilized!

-Really?

I’m a European; an American white
I’m an Oceania and I’m civilized!

-Really!?

I’m an African
Victim of apartheid
An oppressed black
But, I’m civilized!

-Really!?

I’m a highly educated
Preacher, saint-type motivator
First-class nation of the continent
Aristocratic; elite business tycoon
Yes, only I’m civilized crown

I’m  a Muslim; a Buddhist; a Hindu;
I’m a Christian, a Jewish, and a civilized true
I believe in God and holy revelation
I’m religious and a harvester of civilization
I’m an ultra-modernist
I’m a hybrid atheist
I’m the super-food of civilized myth!

-Really!?
-Really!?
-Really!?
 
Civilization- sneered trade of cultural stage
Famine of fancy in the definitive heritage
All stand on lame peaceful feet to mislead
And invite you to learn from the ownership
Oh! By this word, all are a funny trader
everywhere crawling as hidden viper!

Seriously good piece of work, Mahtab. Every culture from every corner of the earth is guilty of it.
Enlightenment will come? One day? In another thousand light year?   B
