Humanity
Oh, the way I yearn
I yearn so deeply
For a world where we chose love over hate
A defining feature of humans— our love and care for each other
The first proof of humanity was a healed femur
We have cared, we can care
Our rich history
Tarnished by those who feel a sense of superiority
A false superiority— I almost feel sorry for them
I ache for them, in an odd way
An ache fueled by anger and despair
Humanity is wonderful
Beautiful, complex, intricate
It is foolish to dismiss us as inherently evil
We are inherently nothing, but the product of our environment
Tragically, our environment is vile,
disgusting
exploitative!
The byproduct of that delusional hierarchy
What could we have become if the path we took was instead love, not hate?
