Humanity

What gives an entity humanity?
It cannot be love,
For some humans don't feel it,
Though they are as human as everyone else.

What gives someone humanity?
It cannot be empathy,
For some people don't feel it,
Though they are as human as everyone else.

What gives someone
The right to decide another's humanity?
For humanity is an oft debated subject,
That no one knows the answer to.

Our humanity doesn't define us,
As we can't define our humanity.
So what makes us any different
From non-human entities?

The Burning Cold

Walk through the Hearth
As you would ice,
And from the cold flames
Your new self will rise.

Behead your past,
Be off with its head.
After the Flames have cleansed you,
You will freeze your dread.

Succumb to the Cold,
Invite the warmth of the Fireplace
For your sins have been frozen,
But your pitiful self remains.

A Conclusion To The Thirty Day Journey

In spite of the lateness of this post, I most sincerely thank all my dear viewers for accompanying me on this thirty day journey, the previous post marking the end of both this journey we have shared and my vacation. As for what the future holds in store for us, it will surely be a matter of intrigue (that I hope, will not disappoint) as I will continue to post content and keep writing, for I remain, 

Very Truly Yours,
Maya Desdemona.

Day Thirty: Waltzing Masquerade

In this ballroom,
They are bride and groom.
But it truly seems,
That this arrangement attracts doom.

For they are but puppets,
Forced to dance on a never-ending stage,
So they play their parts to perfection,
Praying that someday,
Things will change.

For whom are you putting on this act?
To which great masquerade artist
Are you trying to prove yourself?
