Being Human

Breath is a sign of
Existence with will and
Intellect giving shape to higher
Notes on the scale of
Generation's purpose and promise.

Hearts holding questions and needs
Unsettled and certain are not
Made by man or woman but
Are what make men and women
Not mere mammals but human beings.
