Is This What Makes Us Human
By Jojo Hogetoorn
Is this What makes us human?
Is this what you desire?
Well stab me in the heart
And cast me in the ire,
I needn’t be acquainted with
This thing you hold so dear,
What you see as a pleasure
Only fills me up with fear.
Is this What makes us human?
Is this what you desire?
Well stab me in the heart
And cast me in the ire,
I needn’t be acquainted with
This thing you hold so dear,
What you see as a pleasure
Only fills me up with fear.
Is this what makes Us human?
The glue that “binds us close”,
Sound more like an excuse
Used to keep them on their toes,
As it’s used to advertise
This rampant hope for lonely eyes,
Is this “joy” then worth the cost
When connection is the price?
Is this what makes us Human?
Well then I say I’m done.
I won’t pretend I’m human,
If this is what defines one.
Society, I spite thee
And for this you’ll have my head.
I’d rather be alone forever
Then together in a bed.
