Humanity
<p>We’re all terminally ill.</p><p>That’s the cost of being alive</p><p>Like the calm before the storm,</p><p>or the brightest stars of the night.</p><p>We’re human, we can’t help that.</p><p>We aren’t Gods just playing games.</p><p>We’re no better than muskrats.</p><p>No more alive than the rain.
We elect those that we follow,</p><p>But who are we to say?</p><p>I’ve seen wolves show more compassion,</p><p>Than the leaders of today.
We can create, or we can fly.</p><p>Our potential is plentiful.</p><p>But at the end of the day, still,</p><p>We’re nothing more than animals.
What’s the meaning of “humane?”</p><p>I really hope I live to tell.</p><p>Maybe we need to be rearranged.</p><p>Maybe humanity is hell.</p>
