Human as Human
“Human as Human”
by Ruby Dalvina
Why don’t we see human as human—
not tinted by fear or old lies?
Each soul is a sun in the making,
not a shade for the world to despise.
Their joy, their well-being, their stories,
deserve more than silence or shame.
A heart does not come in a colour,
and pain never carries one name.
Let justice be more than a whisper,
let kindness be louder than skin.
Until we all walk beside freedom,
no one has truly begun to win.

I am so glad you shared this poem @rubydalvina – these insights are beautiful. I have been reflecting and speaking about Humanism and “Strategic Essentialism” (Gayatri Spivak) lately, discussing the need to address labels and stereotypes without allowing these divisive categories to dehumanize. It is lovely to read a work like this where potentially complex concepts are shared with eloquence and clarity.
