We were humans.
We did some great things.
We built things, for example.
We sang.
We made music.
We destroyed things.
We were humans.
We killed a lot.
We didn’t care that much about that.
Sometimes we did, but mostly we didn’t.
We painted versions of how we saw the world
In which we were the main characters.
We were humans.
We took a lot of pictures of ourselves.
We were cruel and kind.
We used to say: things will work out.
We used to tell people to get over it.
We told ourselves everything was for the best.
We were humans.
We said all sorts of things.
We used to think that what we said meant something.
Someone once said there are no mistakes.
Whoever said that was human.
