What we are

What is it that makes us humans?
What makes us what we are?
Feelings like despair, hate,
or the love we feel in our hearts?
It is what we create
things that are so easy to destroy
We all seek our goals
and the pain of failure we avoid
What is it that makes us what we are?
our emotions?
our thoughts?
the commotion we create
with all our inner battles fought.
What is it?
The need to harm
others even the ones we love
all our hate,
that giudes only to despair.
Thinking we're perfect and peaceful,
when we're violent and fearful.
Is that what we truly are?
attacking each other with all we got,
intead of loving each other after all we've fought.
We're the human race,
with all the damage and hatred we cause
total chaos we face.
Why not change,
ending the fights with others
and finding inner peace
ending the struggle
trading the punch with a kiss.
We're not so destructive after all
we've learned to love and enjoy
small things like a walk in fall
we also have beautiful feelings like love
enjoying the small pleasures of life
What is it that makes us humans
and the meaning of life?
It's our happiness and our ideas that flow,
it's the fact that we are all free
although few are the people that know.
