To Human

I'm human according to the textbooks and the men in lab coats alike.

I'm human according to the others sitting in desks identical to mine.


I'm human according to the lyrics and screenplays, to the ones inside the magic box.


I'm human according to the seed planted in our thoughts since my first breath.


7 billion. Even more from the past have crawled, walked, ran and lived in the very place our generation does.

Right now, we pave a path for our kin.
Never has it been harder to take the road less traveled, yet each day, select few find an area not quite uncovered.

              UNIQUE.                         DIFFERENT.                         INNOVATIVE.    
                  

hu·man
            adjective \ˈhyü-mən, ˈyü-\
          : of, relating to, or affecting people
           : typical of people


To the one's covered in hair walking on all fours, I'm the one bearing gifts of food.


To the eight legged crawlers with, I'm the hand behind the white cloth and screeching stick.


To the quaking giants, I'm the shadow dweller, holding pieces of their fallen brothers.



Despite all the opinions, I'm just a 
loud breathing,
troubled,
problem solving,
self-aware,
liar,
striving to become a better composition of experiences.
                                                                                                                   I'm just me.

Each individual is fighting to be on top.
To get to the sunlight by whatever means,
many a time using others.


Why despite having a common definition is a human race superior to a rat, shark or eagle?


Such sass.

So hip.

Too weird.

Real fun.

The human mind and the human body, I find fascinating.

Each its own machine, powered and fueled differently.
but,
With a machine, each individual piece serves its own purpose,
yet,
Working together in unison.
Why don't we?

Because after all, each of us is only 
                                                                                                                                      Human.
