"Humanism" Original Poem
Humanism by Sumin Lee Everything makes us live, Everything makes us die. We build to live, We build to die. You won't remember I was here, I won't remember you were here. But the earth we stand on, stands for us. The tall building covering the sky, Covering the sun, Covering the moon, I tilt my head up to the floors I can't count. We work to be housed, The roof over my head and four walls around me, I never felt you were of importance. What are we alive for? Everyday, I breathe. Inhale, Exhale. I hope my energy fills the cracks in the concrete, rise a flower from the gray. You might not know I was here, I might not know you were here. But we were and we are. The books, the iced lattes, the traffic lights, Everything is proof that we were and we are. #27
