The Humanist Beast

Truth is I am so angry... By the bloody minded relentless ridiculing of Hinduism in toto, by this dangerous new breed of  "Humanists".
Why?
Because of a few of its flaws, the whole of it must be demonized.
Why?
Because it's fashionable to make fun of the Hindus in the name of the hindutva brigade.

Why?
Because it's relatively safer than attacking the fatwa/jihad/Daesh brigade.

Why?
Because it's easier to tear down with sarcasm than to recreate and reform with patience.

Call yourselves Humanists.
I call you out as intolerant megalomaniacs who think they have a monopoly on Truth and Reason.
No empathy. No Humanity.
Period.

The Humanist beast

The Humanist beast
doth attack
And tear in shreds
The truth he cannot stomach
Yet needs must
Truly dread.

They hunt in packs
Quote dubious stacks
Of half truths and lies
Out sourced ignorance
Spreading concocted news
Spin doctors
Of vice.

With no lack of assurance
They pretend faux tolerance
But cannot accept genuine
Difference of views
If you're not preaching to the choir
(Of angels they think they're)
Then you're simply no use.

And instead of pausing to give
The benefit of doubt
They pompously post
Insane unbalanced poison
Then haughtily declare,
Over and out.

The humanist beast
Feels free to slander and shout
From their cloistered clouds
They mock everyone,
Except the ones who irresponsibly tout,
That the houses others built are crooked
So should be pulled down,
While their pathological pretences
Are hallowed ground.

The humanist beast
Hasn't a reasonable human heart
To use his rational mind to unite,
Not cast Barbaria's
stones that hurt.

Oh the Humanist beast
He wants the world to be
A better place.

In feral pursuit of this
He loses both,
Reason and grace.

He nit picks and mocks all
Those are the hallmarks of a fool
What he cannot understand
He must always ridicule.
