Humanity

Poem

Humanity 

People walking by, They don't look me in the eyes

Is this how it's meant to be, we all have eyes but we can't see

We close our eyes and dream

We know not all is as it seems

Somewhere deep inside we understand

How we've learned to measure is not the measure.... of a man

Are we humans... with no humanity

We run run run but we're not free

When we close our eyes to all we see

Are we merely humans ... with no ... humanity

Air we no longer can breathe

Earth carries water we can't drink

Poisoned by the thoughts we think

Sailing this ship ... that's bound ... to sink

Are we humans with no humanity...

We run run run but we're not free

When we close our eyes to all we see

Are we merely humans ... with no ... humanity

Where's the humanity.....
