serendipity

i saw them
hurt a baby
because his skin
was darker than theirs.

i saw them
rape a woman
because judging from her clothing
she was literally asking for it.

i saw them
take special pills
to ensure the birth of boy
because a daughter would be of no use

i saw them
ignore their child's suffering
because grades matter
more than health anyway.

i saw them
ban the niqab because
practicing one's faith
is equivalent to terrorism.

i saw them
destroy the homes of thousands
because at the end of the day
we'll be clinking champagne flutes
in our million dollar mansions.

but you know what
along with that
i saw some
donate wealth to help
less privileged children
receive the same level of
education as their own.

i saw a man
teach his son
to respect women
because it is a woman after all
for being the sole reason he existed.

i saw some
give up their lives
so that people they barely knew
could live better ones.

i saw white, brown and black
stand together
to make peace
in a world so full of hatred.

i saw a man
stand up for a muslim woman
because humanity
is above religion.

seeing this
eased some of the pain in my heart
it reminded me that
there is still kindness in this world
the sun still rises everyday
and the birds still sing
there are still people out there who care.

have faith in humanity
i repeated to myself
for the tenth time today
as i smiled at every stranger
coming my way
in the hopes to make their day.
