Lost Humanity

When was the last time you felt like a human being?  Were you 10, having the time of your life at the local pond?  Or were you fighting with your sister, how could you be so mean?  We live in a world which rewards us when we conquer a country, when we get the new Audi, when we achieve stardom.  People think we are strange when we volunteer for good causes, stand up against corruption, label freedom as Free-Dumb.  We were once a great species, equipped with vast knowledge, using our big brains to understand our universe, outrunning Kudu over a 30 mile landscape.  We still have these magnificent tools, but we use them to read about the Tiger Woods' scandal instead of learning how to travel our galaxy more efficiently.  We use our tools to stress ourselves out for 10 hours a day at a job we absolutely hate, instead of releasing that energy to survive in the wilderness we once called home.  People, we have to get back to the basics.  Carry on our ancestor's tradition of evolution.  Continuously getting better physically, mentally and spiritually.  Connect with your neighbors, not with your favorite T.V. show's actor.  Teach your child what you have learned.  Don't ignore your seed just because your job drains all your energy from you.
These are things we should heed,
because without your corrupted officials taking the lead,
you will soon want all the help you will surely need
