I Am Man Poem by Michael Hopkins

I am Man

I am one of you

As you are a part of me

We are family

Once together

Now apart

You see

We have mutated

Transformed

Enlightened

Faster than you

While you crawled

We flew

Never forgetting our own

The love that we shared

As friends

As brothers and sisters

As mothers and fathers

As youth

As elders

We never looked down

Rather

We

Looked up

We serve

Until the day

When all are free

The masters will be servants

And

The servants will be masters

A day of reckoning will come

A day of remembrance

A day of redemption

Will come

That day

We will stand together

Eyeball to eyeball

Hand in hand

Then once again family

Will we be

Man

Yes

Once again in the same family

Once again

We will be Man

And

All upon this Earth

Will know

And

Will Say

I am Man
