The Immortality of Humanity

We have life, or maybe
We are life
But did we ever get asked about it?

When we emerge
    Bloody, small, and screaming into
This world from that warm, dark, ignorantly safe place,
We cut our connection and become
Ourselves, separate.

Is it only when we are unaware of
Danger that we feel safe?
Or is it when such love is shared
That we feel so protected that
Nothing could harm us?
Is love the great 'meaning of life'
That we all search for?

We have, separately, created bars,
Physical and emotional, against evil.

Yet the only evil is unnaturalness and misunderstanding
And we are constantly breaking down each others bars.

Then we are scared.
What makes us carry on?

When the pain is so bad
What makes us resist that endless ending?
Is it love?
Or is there something deeper still?

Something that we have perhaps
Inherited from distant entities in our past
Some out of place determination?

Still, we never thought we'd die alone.
