You are only human, You weep; I’ve seen you weep. You have sick pleasures too, (we all do) However I fear Something is twisted inside of you. But you, you also love. You hurt too. On the outside and in, Under your cold rough skin, You’re as fragile as a lamb And your hard exterior is flawed. And with this shell, I am bored. You are only human, derived from an ape But that is all to clear, let the inner escape. Because, The simple fact you have raised a seed Doesn’t make you infallible to misdeed. It makes you human. A basic primal responsibility Is your foundation and only link to me. Yet I owe you. You’ve been Nobel and you have worked hard, And so I owe you, it has left me scarred. That day, behind those eyes, you shed no tears, My fears erupted in fathom of you’re monster. Yet you are only human. Your demons are repeated, Don’t rise, remain defeated, Soldier, Worker, father, Or would you rather role model? I cannot lie. Since the days of my toddle, I’ve resented your sculpture of man, Inaccurate brute, a man is a man. You are only human. You hold the right to be wrong, Maybe you should realise that. That you are not the all knowing, You are only human. Just like me.
