Human Beings

 

  look at your hands
your beautiful useful hands
      you're not an ape
   you're not a parrot
you're not a slow loris
   or a smart missile
      you're human

      not british
   not american
      not israeli
not palestinian
   you're human

      not catholic
not protestant
   not muslim
      not hindu
you're human

we all start human
   we end up human
      human first
         human last
      we're human
   or we're nothing

nothing but bombs
   and poison gas
nothing but guns
   and torturers
nothing but slaves
of Greed and War
if we're not human

         look at your body
with its amazing systems
of nerve-wires and blood canals
   think about your mind
which can think about itself
   and the whole universe

      look at your face
which can freeze into horror
      or melt into love
   look at all that life
      all that beauty
      you're human
   they are human
   we are human
let's try to be human

At the center of your being you have the answer;

You know who you are and you know what you want.
