Defined

A revival

Some other time ago, I had faith in this world

Stupefying and bewildering,

I stopped, some man told me, "I am a Christian"

He said he has none but faith 

Yet, he judged me

A devout man bowed and greeted, he told me, "I am a Muslim"

He declared God and had none but faith 

Yet, he raised his voice at me 

He told me he could do all things with the strength of his shoulders

He told me "I am a man"

Yet, he just brought me down

Far away, I saw rallies bigger than waves

"I am a Democrat", "I am a Republican", some declared, power it seems 

Yet, nothing is still fixed

I had a conversation with a man once, he told me he was smart

He said "I have a PhD"

Yet, he had no job

Sometime today, I was eating at a restaurant

The cook told me, "I am talented:

Yet, I think the steak is bland

Four days after, I was walking downtown, I saw an artist

He said, "I am pathetic"

Yet, his art work beamed more than the billboards across

I pondered, 

All these labels,

Except the word, "Human"

Now, I wonder

Is it too much if I am human?
