To Be Human
We are all human
Are we not?
Stripped of color, pigmentation,
gender-identifying extrema,
and body,
if we have one thing in common,
it is
our Soul.
The Human Spirit dances within us all;
No matter whether we have
our hoods down
Or hair up;
We are one people,
United by love.
and those who disagree have systematically and simultaneously lost their
Humanity.
For if you cannot see that we all are
the same,
you have lost your eyes.
And if you cannot hear humanity’s bristling, harmonious cadence,
you have lost your ears.
If you cannot smell the melting pot of our world,
then you must have no nose.
If you cannot
or are not willing to
work together for the betterment of our world,
then
where are your hands?
And
If you cannot feel
warmth to another, regardless of differences,
and show love to your fellow man,
then you have lost your Soul.
And then,
What are you?
For even the maimed, the lame, the broken,
The ones that God
elected to bear the brunt of the burden,
have all of the afore mentioned anatomy, albeit
physically, or within their spirit,
for love is blind, deaf, paralyzed, and
Dumb
But the defining factor of humanity-
The Soul-
Requires one credential:
Love.
A credential that thus opens the door to all aspects of us.
indiscriminant, brotherly, motherly, spouse
Compassionate, romantic,
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
If you cannot feel any of these,
and are consumed by hate for your fellow man,
whether he be black, brown, yellow, white, red,
or green or purple,
gay, straight, tall, or short, long or wide,
then you have lost your
Humanity.
