Humanity

We have freedom to create,
the right to participate 
and desire to aspire with our worlds dying fire.
Come close and I will share the story of love
that was held like a dove.
You may be aware, that it can lead to despair
But if you are willing to take the step into the Crucible
you may find the Humanity is shaped by our Insanity.



P.S (Crucible) using the meaning as (extreme test of faith)
