Indivisible

Michael Marchese

By Michael Brandon MarchesePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

If I could be any known

Creature on Earth

I'd still choose to remain

The same human since birth

Have I been, and am currently

Will be for more

Of the time, only I

Can decide what it's for

What's in store

What awaits

To embrace

Me with only what we

Higher apes

Could lay waste

To rapacious,

Voraciously

Taking a taste

Of forbidden fruits ripe

With the sins we have chaste

For what other such beast

Could destroy and create

A feast for the gods

That we make

As we mate

Procreating the future

And sealing its fate

In a consequence drenched

In a floodwater's rise

Of the actions we take

And the plans we devise

To ascend to the skies

We can rationalize

The absurdest demise

And as chaos enraptures us,

Captures us, caged

We unleash feral rage

And bring order from chains

But are bound only by

An instinctual drive

To not merely survive

But as civilized, thrive

On our own two feet striding

To the other side

Of the lives of the billion

And counting

Supreme

Zoological,

Often illogical

Beings

With fallings as graceful

As "death do us part"

And with hearts that beat just

As abstractly as art

Can we render it all

With a sentient perception

A meaningless void

In a sea of depression

Or be overjoyed

By our manic expression

Of what makes us same

Makes us tame the insane

Makes us whole

Makes us all people, equal

Indivisible
