We Are Humans

We Are Humans

A Poem by Andrés Danilo Hedkvist Muñoz

We are humans
We take life for granted
What we fail to realize is
Is the fact that life itself
Has its own life
Yet it is forced to be one
With us
Life fades away
When we want it to
Life ends
When we want it to
But when it ends
We end

 

Love, anger, fear, joy
Feelings, words
How do you describe love?
Holding someone, kissing someone
Giving gifts, telling them:
"I love you."
That is not how to describe love
That is not how to describe the feeling
That is how to describe the actions
When you are angry
You might curse
You might be rude
Is that how to describe that feeling?
Fear, I am either shaking, hiding
Or frozen solid
But why?
I am laughing
But why?
Because I am happy or is it
Because of madness?

 

Death
What eventually will replace life
When it finally comes
Some feel fear
But fear of what?
Dying? Or death itself?
What is the difference?
Some feel anger
While others feel joy
Eventhough the reason
Remains the same;
Death has come to take you away
Away from pain
Or away from joy?

 

We always take everything
For granted
We are greedy
We always want more
When we have what we need
Sometimes
The one thing we need
Sits next to us
Walks next to us
Is holding our hands
Kissing us
Loving us
Still we let other things
Consume us
Money, power, sex, fear, anger
But never love

 

Yet love can become
What breaks us down
What makes us do stupid things
But what do we feel once love
Leaves us?
Regret?
Anger, hate?
Fear?
Loneliness?
Once we have been destroyed
Our monster will appear
Fear, pain, anger, sadness
Will spread
Why?
We are humans
We let emotions and our mind
Control us
But we have no other choice
We are humans
And we always
Take life
Love
Anger
Fear
Joy
Deatf
For granted

 

We can not stop, never will stop
Describing, defining a feeling is not possible
Life, death, emotions can not be calculated.
