I Am Human: The Ancestry in Me

I am that human, who is proud and strong, I am that human who was once wild and free. I am that human climbing mountains, who struggles to reach its highest peak, Only to climb back down and do it all over again. I am that human who is adventurous, That long to travel the oceans, lands, seas and skies, In search of new places. I am that human the slaver, Who chained other humans like me. Believing they were beneath me, Just because their skin color, faith, and language weren't like mine. I am that human praying for freedom from chains and cages, Locked by my oppressor. And I am that human who ripped open cage bars, Breaking the chains that bound me to the ground. I am that human who walked miles, through tunnels, and woods. Who hidden away on boats, ships, and airplanes, And I was that human who ran as fast as I could. Jumped into unknown waters just to get away, Until I could find a place where I could belong, From the evil that you've done! I am that human who confronted your deepest evil, That human who wanted your land. I am your judge, jury, and executioner, Who put the eye of evil on you for all the sins that you did. I am that human who others are burning at the stake. I am the mob who is watching you burn. I am that human begging to be believed. I am that so-called human who is praying for your soul. I was that human crying in pain as flames melt my skin completely away, And I was that human cursing you with my final breath. But I am also that human who still sees the beauty of life in this world, But also, the ugliness and hate that engulfs it. I am that human who is kind, caring, and giving, But also, I can be that human who lets greed, and jealousy turn me green. I am that human who has betrayed, and steals. I am that human who fears the unknown, I am that hideous person who has raped and killed just because. But yet, I am that human who can love. I am that human who worships and kneels before God, And I am that amazing human who dances to their own tune. But yet be the villain or hero in your very own storybook. ?For I am that human who has sinned.
