    Human and Life

    Human and Life

    what's life to you?
    what does it take to be human?
    you can't have one without the other?
    false.
    a spirit or a memory can live on even after the body has decayed.
    being human in my eyes is to have compassion, will, and faith
    to have sadness, anger, hatred and guilt
    to have love, happiness, joy, and understanding
    life is many many things
    but can you truly live if you cannot talk?
    smell?
    hear?
    or taste?
    what if you couldn’t move
    paralyzed forever
    or maybe you have lost everything
    eyes, nose, mouth, ears, ...your face in general
    your legs and arms torn away by the shoulders and hips

    you can move your head
    and squirm your body
    but nothing more
    how would you stay sane?
    how can you be human after that?
    how can you do the impossible after being shoved back into the womb?
    some can
    some can't
    the war did it to one man
    and many others i bet
    war can stop
    we just have to make it possible
    we can dream a better dream
    and make this world a better place
    but only we can do it
    the Earth is counting on us
    weather we destroy it or help it is entirely in our hands

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
