Back To Ground Zero - My Humanity

We are not as smart as we think...
We ain't as evolved as we claim...
We may have conquered stars and space
But not those dark alleys within,
Where we rarely ever have been
Darkness we should embrace,
To light up the horrors of our daily life
Dim lights where our ancestors met.

Let us begin by accepting that we are flawed,
Far more flawed than we would like to believe
Still taking pride in being human,
Our ability to march forth,
No matter how many times we stumble and fail....
