This being human is brutal
 Where survival remains primal
 Where savagery can be ruthless
 Where being human is animal
  
 This being human is joyful
 Where sharing is a pleasure
 Where smiles reflect happiness
 Where being human rises above 
  
 This being human is indulgent
 Where affluence is wasted
 Where consumption is recreational
 Where being human is an economic unit
  
 This being human is religious
 Where unknowns engender hope
 Where faith equates with confidence
 Where being human could be spiritual
  
 This being human is political
 Where a few choices matter
 Where many choices don’t
 Where being human is good and evil
  
 This being human is being creative
 Where knowledge grows exponentially
 Where caution is thrown to the wind
 Where being human is a contradiction
  
 This being human is arrogant
 Where entitlement reigns
 Where extinctions surprise no one
 Where being human is collective stupidity
  
 This being human is ridiculous
 Where universes are vast
 Where consciousness is nebulous
 Where being human is being alone
  
 This being human is scary
 Where thoughts beget actions
 Where actions beget unanticipated consequences 
 Where being human is in itself an existential risk
