Humans

We are humans.
We charge into battle.
No regard for our own body.
We just feel our souls on fire.
The shooting stars lead us.
To doom. To freedom.
We are humans.
We follow the wind.
The cracks do not stop us.
Our human body flurries on.

Greetings

Welcome to Neopoet. You captured the best of being human. Had you thought about also capturing the bad parts? If either case I enjoyed it. If you have problems on site just give me a holler and if I can't help I'll point you to somebody who can,,,,,,stan
