"Humanity"

I'm back in school and I went to my first Reflexion meeting of the year. Reflexion is the spoken word group I'm a part of. We had a workshop where we all drew out of a hat a word written on a small piece of paper. My word was Humanity. We had 15mns or so. This is my first piece since the summer Spoken word Thursday nights...

“Humanity”

I am Human

I am a man

I am strong and I am weak

Through valleys and peaks

I’ve conquered this world

To which I was hurled, through my mother’s womb

I am Human

I am a woman

I am strong and I am love

Through A life B world & c all of the above

I have conquered through my ways

I am Human

I am people

I am weak and I am feeble

I am strong willed and I am free

I am lost and in captivity

I have created…

Words, poetry, and music

Architecture, love, and laughter

But through all this creation I don’t really know what I am after

You see? Sages and masters have figured it out

They lived simple lives and were happy without a doubt

True humans who accept their fate: enjoy every moment

Every breath of fresh air

Every fall and every tear, in their jeans

Not store bought but put there by chance

Like humanity.

I am Human

And I am ME

An individual; who’s learned to BE

Be silly and NUTZ

Be friendly and a cluts

Be Human by how you love

Be nature by how you live

Be laughter and give….back

Everything you have to this world

To this life

To this Humanity

I am Human

And you are me

We are one; he is she

We are what we eat, what we speak, what we live.
