Be Human

[To champion choice...be one to have choices]

Let us never forget what it is to give

For we have always been given more

And at a moment’s motice, remember to live

A gift not many have revered before

This is but a fickle poke in the back:

Many have chosen to lay aside their sword

As if to be, become, have been

Never was the hint of a vivid war

But in these our days of plenty,

Let your tempered heart outdo

your hands, your feet, yourself.

Your pulse strong and undying

will leap forth in your words

will show on your flushed face,

your brow will not go away ignored.

The soul always shows its face

–it cannot lie.

The humble facade gives

birth to the greatest of feelings:

and the subtle smile on

your face shall not be pained

but let you, you–

let you be the truest thing alive

so that you do not betray yourself

to the beautiful front assumed..

bound tight by your faults…

be human.

in the reflection of your salt tears,

your being is whole.

[ let us live]
