A Race of The Human Variety

We are born to pay the price of living -

expensive and unjustly so

so we practice the art of giving

to pretend we all have a soul

We are born to inhale pollutants

and the breath of a collective mass

to listen to hearts that beat out of tandem,

and to lend an ear to formalities that come to pass

We are born to multiply by twos -

and to do simple things like tying shoes

but upon this we build routes to success and fame

anything at all - anything! to glorify our shame

And above all else, we are born

to realize that everything we do -

every misuse, every mistake, every misstep -

is only so the world can play us as a fool
