My Existential Wishlist


The only word that makes sense, when I ponder this existence, And my existential wish list, is transcendence. Transcendence. How may we transcend it? The problem lies there in with, the fickle nature of humanity’s kinship. For people are all the same. The same as they all are different. Yet we forget all the same, and highlight all the difference. From the dawn of our cognizance To our current state of indifference. Wishing for humanity, an existential existence, where in all are equal, because of our kinship, not divided by our judgmental resistance. None shall be equal, without equal transcendence. What shall we call the moment of that instance? Transcendence. Transcendence. That is the extent of my existential wish list.
