The Humans and I

Ones who wage, Ones who rage, Ones who take, Ones who pay, Ones who craze, Ones who rave, Ones who crave… Ones who fear, Ones who breathe, Ones who give, Ones who need, Ones who will, Ones who weave… Ones who plead, Ones who beg, Ones who beseech, Ones who entreat, Ones who appeal, Ones who volunteer, Ones who disappear… The ones who follow, The ones that don’t know about tomorrow, The ones who don’t deserve the morrow… The ones who sleep, The ones who cry, The ones who live, The ones who die… The ones who proclaim, Those who say they create, The ones who ache, The ones who don’t wait, The ones who hesitate, The ones who don’t concentrate, The ones who fornicate, The ones who procrastinate… Those who fall in temptation, Those who get in frustration, Those who sometimes feel desperation, Those who keep going without caution, Those in motion, Those in tension, Those losing notion, Those being poisoned, Those getting in distortion, Those following the broken diction, Those dying like the billions, Those without unction, Those washed in the oceans… I might seem cold, But it is you who is bold. I might not express, But it is you who doesn’t let me progress. I might not seem like I seek, But it is you who doesn’t know me… I might seem like I need, But it is you who might always be begging on your knees. I might seem dull, But it is the one that is fool. I might not be alight, But it is you who isn’t truly alive… I will remain neutral, I will remain silver, I will remain gray, I feel darkness, I feel light, I will remain hallowed…, After all, it is you who deserves no life… I am a metal hawk, I am a mountain goat, I am a silver bird, I am a gray wolf, I am a white tiger, I am a mystic rose…, I am I… I’m alive, And I survive, You are here, However, it is you who deserves no life… Being human does not imply that you have humanity…
