I am a human being
This is not a protest
It is an attestation of the truth
An poetically refurbished brand of
freedom
A reminder to those who are full of
venom
A salute to the victims of war
A brand new slogan for the peace
loving people of Ukraine
It is a tool to use to confront the
savagery of war
It is a form of psychological
therapy in times of distress
A pill to be taken every day by
those fleeing war
It is actually a spoonful of the human
spirit that is taken every morning and night
I am a human being is a statement
that unites humanity
A pillow to put your head on at
night
A path to find your true self
An annihilation of all identities
A spiritual bath
An awakening of the spirit of
togetherness and oneness
A mental note to hold onto during
desperate times
A total disarmarment of any form of
hatred
It is a garment of beauty worn by
the human species
It is a shield to put around our
children and the vulnerable
A lesson for all of humanity
Dedicated to the people of Ukraine
