Because I am Human

I lie, because I am Human.

I am Human.

There is no being higher than

myself and if there is

that being must be a God.

I am Human.

Every day is a battle between

who is right.

Every day is a

war if you 

are wrong.

I am Human. 

I hate everything about myself

so I simply hate everything,

because it's easier

than admitting

that death could be mercy.

So I am Human.

I want everything and nothing all

at the same time

and the moment another

says I'm being

unfair

they are simply

wrong because

I am Human.

Am I Human?

Are we to be reborn

into this cruel world

filled with 

things that are just

like us?

If so, I would not

like to be reborn.

I'd like my soul

to stop right there, 

and to view

what it use

to be from far

away, and I'd like

to simply be

dead.

This was created to like extend a shorter poem I did, let me know which is better.


People are condescending.
Beings who believe they are higher than anyone else.
And once they began fighting amongst themselves.
They needed something to believe in to feel better.
They lie.
They cheat.
They steal.
Every day is a battle between who is right.
Every day is a war when you are wrong.
If death is to give mercy.
Though we do not deserve it.
I would not like to be reborn.
I would like to simply be dead.

Most people comfort themselves with life after death but there is certain allure to nothingness

I like that this poem explores what the human experience can be like. It can be very confusing to have so many emotions, never being truly satisfied. That is such a human experience because having consiousness along with survival instinct intertwined can get us into many moral conundums. I like to think about this concept, as scary as it can be at times. I also like how it points out how unreliable humans can be. We can think we are right about many of things, but at the end of the day we are human, prone to mistake.

as a buddhist i have so much to say about this poem. but in short, everything you say is true according to the dharma. being born human is a precious gift but it also really sucks. attaining liberation is the highest goal. and i hope you attain it in this lifetime.
