What is "Humanity"?

What is humanity?

Do not ask me my child.

I do not know the answer,

You tell me.

 

Tell me my child,

What is humanity?

Is it love's grace and hearts design?

Or is it the lack therof?

 

What is "humanity"?

What do you think?

Is it the river of blood we seem to enjoy in war?

Or is it the desperation we feel to save those who bled for it?

 

Tell me, I want to know

What is "humanity"?

I think you would know,

As you are what defines it best.

 

What is "humanity"?

You tell me,

You are the next generation that will be

Destined to express that truth.

 

So please tell me,

What is "humanity" to you?
