It helps us to remember,
That sometimes when we're broken,
We can peice ourselves together,
And forget what has been spoken.
Dawnless words, senseless birds,
Take hope that our race surpasses.
Unsleeping, yet stark awake,
Dreaming lads and lasses-
It helps us to remember
That nature leaves behind but some,
That us it takes along with her,
On a merry song and sleepy hum.
Why do we think so deeply,
Unless compelled by oceans vast,
And the fallen head or shattered mast,
Reminding that we walk weakly.
For it helps to remember,
That we have gone past humanity.
Your children and your children's children,
May one day learn to remember lovers,
May one day learn the lines of the lips they kiss.
For the sake of tommorow,
To dissect our sorrow,
To learn the insides of our mind,
On fleeting winds to leave behind,
Children our weaknesses are forever weaker,
So in humanness we must be no meeker.
For when we loose our hearts to lads and lasses,
To the summer sun and wine filled glasses,
It serves as remembrance,
That nature must take us past that innocence,
Once ago, we were but human,
But past that there is superhuman.
Cease the lies and cease the farce,
Cease the light and cease the stars,
Leave old days and moldy ways,
For when all is said and done,
Today, I am superhuman.
<i must say that this was altogether a weak argument. i'd like to say more.
more importantly, this is an on the spot something that i wanted to say on reading Penguin's 'I am Human'. Not exactly a reply, that's a little harsh.>
