In Humanity

The door was opened,

no one knows by whom,

when or even why,

but so it remains,

allowing access

to the spiritual.

Had we forgotten,

distracted ourselves,

we may have survived.

Alas, we're all flawed,

easily mastered

by depravity.

Brutal, "I love you,"

hours of neglect

and all the grooming

have had a hand

in my decision

to become humane.
