Human

Compassion,
empathy,
sincerity,
these things
I once thought
were ingrained…
Instinctive traits
of the human heart…
Perhaps they are.
But, if so,
then the human race
is inhuman.
We were raised
from dust
to living men.
Humanity has sunk
from mankind
to stone.

We were raised

to living men.
Humanity has sunk
from mankind
to stone.
