Human By Right?


"
What is man without his illusions?
Without outrageous dreams?
With none but mechanical schemes?
Let to wander earth without surety of hope?

Without his fancies?
Without his childish joy?
Without curiosity and nay-willingness to suspend disbelief?
Caught in a numbing onslaught of fear, despair and perpetual distress?


A mere shell;
In'agony beyond hell-yet oblivious!
In denial pure-
As he tries his weakness, to obscure!

There isn't a more desperate time-
That each this choice must willingly make!

As existence trots the edge-and life's meanings change beyond reason;
The path one takes-defines or destroys!


When ones Blessed less-
In hope can be'more rich;
Can we relent-can we care less?
To embrace'the magic of life-which does truly bewitch?


We must indeed face the darkness- 
'fore we rejoice  in the light;
For our most wanton'needs-never cease to fight;
Lest we become ashamed-to be Human-by right! "
