Woe to you, humans!
For you have so many different faces,
and wants
that urge the desire
to have so many different things at once.
*
And woe to you, morons!
For you judge people
based on their hair color,
and whether they are fair-skinned or dark-skinned.
*
For you value people
based on what car they drive to work,
or whether they own the latest gadget,
as well as their profession.
Since when
a Blackberry or an iPhone could define its owner?

Shakespeare once asked,
“What’s in a name?”
Now here’s my questions:
How can you tell that John is richer than Wagiman?
Or,
why did you say Michael is a much better name than Eko?
*
I thought
nothing defines a man better
than his mind
and his attitude

I told you already that I’m terrible with poems.
Sorry, it’s a terrible poem. I know it is.
And I guess I’m taking things too far here.
To write “man” is quite stereotyping and overgeneralizing.
Then perhaps I ought to address that to myself instead.
So,
Woe is me!
For I told people
that we shouldn’t judge people
based on their appearance
but on what’s inside.
Yet I did the exact same thing myself.
