No!
Who?
Im not a what?
But who?
A what is something that stays so stable,
To change itself, it isnt able.
My who cannot be just uncovered
As though it always was
A steadfast thing to be discovered
Established in a distant past
A what? A thing?
I reject this static notion
An insult to my self-promotion
My ancestors go way back when
To a time I cant imagine
They survived
Therefore
I am
But who I am belongs to me
I claim that dignity
As I journey as a guest
I move through times and spaces
With other's faces, travel mates
Watching, listening, speaking, sensing
Taking in and putting out
Adapting
Changing
Making sense
I change my who
Oh yes, I do
And if youre honest so do you
We dance to music's different beats
To egoism and altruism,
Our selves in oppositions
To each other's propositions
Some claim answers known for sure
Thats how the they define us
But others claim that theirs are pure
And they require we concur
The questions they debate?
What is our purpose?
Why did we surface?
Us ants upon the earth
Those among us who are sure
Theyve got it right and others dont
They dance to sounds of cultures clashing
Gnashing
Bashing
Killing those who disagree
Together we could sort it out
Evolution ought to be our shout
The survival of our species...
Thats what its all about
And sing,
We ought
In harmony
Reciprocate
Communicate
Adjudicate and Legislate
We change the who,
Of me and you
The us we are becoming
How do I know what who I am
Im changing all the time
How do you grasp the self, called you?
I know youre changing too
Cause, youll tell me
And Ill tell you
If only we will listen
We could dance in step to reasons beat
And our co-evolution
