Humane.

Nobody cares if you're alive or dead.
What a relief it can be to get that in your head.
Nobody cares if you can sleep at night,
If you are having breakfast and your tummy is alright.
Why should they care? Think deeper.
They have their problems too.
Their issues, jobs and demons.
You've seen them. You know it's true.

And you are not that special. Not even just a bit.
You are barely smiling, always trying to fit.
Trying to have good manners, you never dare to frown,
An interesting hairdo, the nicest dress in town.
Trying to get a good job, proudly become a wife,
Then spawn some kids around you,
To make sense of your life.

But after it's all finished and you've lived through it all.
The perfect marriage, big house, the most expensive car.
Imagine you could really get everything you dream,
What will be the very last tought you will have when you leave,
This planet filled with people, with laughter, love and pain?
When you think of your life, will it have been in vain?

And if you got this far, you surely understand.
You are responsible for far more than yourself.
Show everyone around you, how being loved can feel,
How nurture can move mountains and make the demons kneel.
People are stupid monkeys and what they see, they'll do!
Just help them understand this, be a role model too.
And I hope you too choose kindness, to guide you from today.
Cuz' what makes dying less painful, than living more humane?
