1. Because humans spend their breath tearing each other apart on every screen that lights up 2. Because humans greet one another by measuring skin before measuring soul 3. Because those with higher wages learn how to profit by squeezing the needs of others dry 4. Because humans clear the earth until the place they call home no longer remembers them kindly 5. Because ego, ignorance, and individualism are worshipped louder than care 6. Because humans look away from wars happening elsewhere— or worse, help fund the fire 7. Because power refuses to look back at the suffering born from its own decisions 8. Because humans choose to live without conscience, calling it survival 9. Because the heart grows absent while the body keeps moving 10. Because humans forgot how to be human #listpoem
