how to be human, again.

Hey! Or howdy should I say. I’m from this hood.

Have you heard? We’re pretty 'hip.' We use to

hum the top hits until the sunset hit the horizon but let’s be

honest, we were heirs to huge houses with our

hair in our hoodies and

hid inside the 'H.'

-Harm-less

Hey you. Back in the days, we used

‘Homos’ as a habit and hooted:

He and him. We were conditioned to be

‘Hetereos.’

How harsh don’t you reckon? And so we are back

here, again.

-Heart-less.

~

Hello, is anyone listening?

We hid in the havens where we hoard. But many-

homeless and hated. Many were

hurt and harassed. Maybe that’s why I was

heavy back then? Was I the-

host to hostility?

-Hope-less

~

Hello, is anyone listening?

Halt.

Huh? What now? Lockdown.

~hiatus. But why do I need to hibernate? I used to go to school where our

hands held together H-A-R-M-O-N-Y. But now I’m-

Helpless and hungry.

Hey you, "Learn what it’s like to be a hermit." Many are

homeless.

-Hap-less

~

Hello, is anyone listening?

Ha! There is no haste to heal this havoc we have caused.

With hindsight, I’ve been looking for

heaven but I realised I was only getting high in my

head.

-Head-less

Hello, is anyone listening?

How hilarious. We call our countries to be multicultural, the many-

hues we have but hurry

heed here. Tell me who

‘H’ could be? Could the ‘H’ be a hoax?

Hear me. Could the ‘H’ be our hollow hearts?

Hello? Give me a hint. I know I am

hypocritical, please don’t haunt me in hell. I want to be

happy again. No, I am not hallucinating.

Help me find ‘H!’

Hold up. Wait, who's talking? Are you ready to help?

How? Help me, H. Your Honour.

-Happi-ness.

~

Hello, are you listening?

Honour the H. This is your new hymn:

Hug all humankind. From here you become

higher beings, who pay homage to your heritage. This will be become

history. Hallelujah.

Huddle together here with me.

“Humble, come here.”

“Heal, come here.”

“Humanity, come here.” This is our renewed

habitat and homeland.

Honour the ‘H’(hay-ch) not Hate. Remember the Hero in you.
