The Human Condition

Aa Harvey

The Human Condition

 

 

I’m a speck of light in the distance of humanity.

Everybody continues to live their faithful calamities.

Life as we know it has hit an all-time low.

You may be human; I regret the fact that to you I was ever known.

 

 

I am a being on a separate wave

And I have been washed onto another plain

Of existence; for you are no longer of any consequence.

I have risen above the need for life

And I exist merely in your distance.

 

 

Your humdrum, bubble gum, pass me the gun,

Lives are wasted on both of us.

Now I only despise where there used to be smiling eyes.

No more teeth showing menace;

Just an empty face disappearing in the distance.

 

 

You are robotic, cheating, evil things, choose your own fate.

I am away; so far, so far away

And all I hear is a fading memory talking to me.

The illusion of humanity once meant something to people like me,

But you took it all and kept on coming back and taking more

And MORE!

So nothing remains from the echoes before the fall.

 

 

I am calling time on all mankind.

All human beings, I am drawing a line.

I shall never cross over and head in your direction.

I am gone from you, so keep your (   ) intentions.

You are dead to me; as dead as can be.

You can keep being human; you and I are different species.

 

 

I am a personality divided,

Neither human, nor livid.

Just drained by humanity;

I am done with it.

I am beyond your stupidity;

Such inane conversations.

Way station.

Interruption…

 

The Human

Condition.

    You never said you was beyond hearing me sing again - so there's still hope! heehee.

    • Aa Harvey

      Unfortunately I can't hear you sing, but I am sure any lyrics you type would show me a part of The Human Condition that I do enjoy, sometimes.

      Peace, love and empathy.

      This is something I haven't seen from you before Aa. Very "in your face" and to the point but I like it very much. You certainly said what you meant! Great job!

      • Aa Harvey

        Thank you. Sometimes you just have to say what you mean and to Hell with the consequences.
        I have good days and bad days, so I guess this was at the end of a bad day dealing with The Human Condition.

        Peace, love and empathy.

        Oh I really enjoyed this.
        I have spent at least the last 5 years trying to leave the human condition behind.
        I just don't comprehend humans, I think I am of the soil they steal from to feed their greedy flesh!

        • Aa Harvey

          There is no escaping these humans. They are everywhere. But being one myself, I just have to put up with all the bad ones to see the good ones sometimes.

          Peace, love and empathy.
