Not an anti-humanity poem

I'm flesh and blood,

but not human

because what's above that

defines me more than

carnation ever could.

I'm mind and thought,

but not human

because I'm both less and more

than you can perceive.

I'm heart and empathy-

that's what defines me as human

for what I judge with my mind

will ever go through my heart,

for my blood will be shed for glory,

but my empathy will bring it.

Humans are animal,

because that's what they see.

Humans are machines,

because that's what they want to be.

Humans are humans

because there is no other comparison.
