Of humans and humanity...





How long do I wait for the sunshine...
How long do I wait for the rain,
Emptiness swallowing me piece by piece...
There is a pitch black darkness that just won't make way.


Everyone wants a chunk...
From the sketchy shadows left of me,
And from all the hollowness within...
There still trickles down a tear now and then,
Bereft, yet enough to swallow me.


Is being kind, my biggest folly?
Is humility, my greatest foe?
When I am giving so much for nothing in return...
Why do they pick a hammer and give it all back, blow by blow?


I see a lot of humans...
Boy, I think I do,
But humanity is a far cry...
Robots have replaced humans.


Where is the balance?
Where is that goodness, untold?
I see no silver lining here...
All fables told, don't hold.


To be or not to be,
Has never been a choice...
To keep being.
Is the only challenge...
How to be,
Is a matter of subjective opinion...
Nothing really matters.
