We Are Human

I live, I die.
I laugh, I cry.

I think, I create.
I love, I hate.

I am jealous, I am mad.
I am happy, I am sad.

I forge, I feed.
I want, I need.

I Am Human.

You listen, you feel.
You give, you steal.

You begin, you end.
You receive, you send.

You murder, you bury.
You give birth, you marry.

You educate, you learn.
You buy, you earn.

You Are Human.

We sit, we leap.
We play, we sleep.

We write, we read.
We follow, we lead.

We hurt, we sin.
We lose, we win.

We walk, we drive.
We fail, we strive.

We Are Human.
