The Human Race
By Ashley O’Hare
The human race is amazing.
Chunks of metal
make beautiful harmonies.
Words on paper
make fantastical stories.
People can be trained
to save lives.
Yet the idea of magic is radical.
We fight to find a purpose
for everything.
Instead of joy,
we focus on money.
We argue with our peers
over who deserves glory.
We pretend it is not a miracle
to simply survive.
So we hold out for answers,
no matter how impractical;.
