Human Rights

human rights?

human rights?

whose rights?

another man’s vision of rightfulness
superimpose on another man’s deliberate ignorance?
or
another man’s neglect of right living
legally justified by illegal means?
one’s right to practice his culture?
or
one’s right to impose his culture?
one’s right to practice a tradition?
or
one’s right to deny another tradition?
one’s right to speak his language?
or
one’s right to destroy that language?
one’s right to fight for justice?
or
one’s right to define justice waywardly?
one’s right to practice a religion?
or
one’s right to claim superiority of his religion?
rights? yes rights
human rights
but
end of the road
whose rights??

that matters most.
