Humans are not facts.

WE are unsolvable
because humans are not facts.
Our databases are stored of opinions
cluttered of numbers
we consider statistics.
Compiled to skew perception
because the COLLECTor
determines from whom
what is collected.
We are NOt FACTS.
These minds of ours
alter their data
making it possible
to stay on
and not shut down.
We are not TRUTH,
we are not honest
because humans
live within their illusions.
Behind screens
sharing perfect collections
of images
in which tears are only shed
when sympathy is to be gained.
Humans are not truth
they seek compassion
and they give it
to look human.
I laugh at the irony
because being human
is a kind of animal cruelty
that belongs to only us.
To only that animal that is human
and whichever choices
we make
we haven’t been able
to bleed it out of us
because that cruelty
has been growing
within us
at the birth
of intellectual thought.

Thanks for reading.
