What did it
mean
to be human?
What does it
mean
to be human?
What will it
mean
to be human?
Humanity has
fought and clawed
its way to
the current.
Wars and superstitions
filled our hearts
and minds.
King
of the mountain
was the game
we played,
knocking down all
who got in the way.
Climbing the ladder,
success at any cost.
Stepping on
and over people
was the
rule
of the day.
Many of these
games
we still play
today.
Yet things are
evolving.
The masses
today have power
and influence
like never before.
The global
community
is connected.
We communicate
instantly
around the world.
Topography
and distances
that kept us apart,
that had us
socially
evolve
in many different ways,
now melting away.
Inequalities
still exists,
that is for sure.
Those in power
want to hold on
and keep it
that way;
but through technology
humanity writ large
will begin to hold sway.
As the future
becomes the now,
humanity increasingly
will socially
and globally interact,
our differences
will slowly give way.
The commonality
of humanity
will begin to win
the day.
Humans are
equal
and should be
treated that way.
