Egalitarian Humanism

John Prophet

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.
