The Divided Human Race

Many people think the human race is a solid entity But the magnitude of the division is appalling And it is not religion, race or politics that divides us The culprit is the world economic order With advancing technology, one part is flying away into space The rest of humanity are stuck in the fields of survival Foraging for peanuts and sweltering in the hot weather of today's economic hardships Like Guinea pigs left behind after a scientific experiment Climate change and other man-made disasters are increasing exponentially Leading to more suffering for the masses While the one percent of the human race is ripping profits from the 'unfortunate' fortune made from these man-made disasters Humanity is divided at the core From taste buds to fine tuned motor skills Some human beings are yet to taste ice cream While others are fondling the lid of a petri dish Trying to prepare the next generation taste buds Artificial intelligence and other so called advances in technology are just benefitting a small percentage of the human population The rest are stuck in the era of manual and labor intensive ways of making a living But what is the solution to this expanding human dilemma? How can we bring humanity together? Where do we start? The answer is simple... Consciousness It is time to switch on the light inside our hearts And let it spark the power of awareness It is time to awaken our collective consciousness And make it the driving force in human development and progress We cannot afford to be led by greedy, corrupt and sometimes wicked human beings We need selfless human beings to be in the forefront of human development and progress Those who will take into consideration our holistic needs as a human race Those who will put unconditional Love before profits and self-aggrandizement We need common sense leadership in all areas of human progress ©Kenneth Maswabi
