The One Who Learned to Stand


When he learned to stand,
on hind limbs,
he became human,
he wasn't honored for this,
he wasn't respected for this,
he wasn't cheered for this,
no claps,
no prize,
no medal,
no certificate,
but he did,
and then other followed him,
he was the leader,
but we don’t know his name,
because there were no names back then,
later he developed wheel,
and discovered fire,
and then he created weapons,
utensils, vehicles,
constructed homes,
started to live in community,
cultivating the land,
doing marriages, having kids,
started enjoying things,
created classes,
and Gods to control the lower ones,
started having rules and regulations,
too much of them,
forgot the individual in him,
started living for others,
demanded honor,
respect,
claps,
prize,
certificates,
medals,
which he got,
and then his life stagnated,
lost the mojo,
the dark ages began,
and everything was left for upper ones,
lower ones thrived to live,
centuries later,
the thirst started taking some form,
the hunger arose again,
renaissance happened,
individualism returned,
bloody wars were fought,
some got freedom,
some decided to stay in dark,
free ones brought industrial revolution,
employed the ones living in dark,
a sudden ray of bright sun blinded them,
process of thought wanted to take shape,
but faded into altruism,
he again started living for others,
his family became his life,
he forgot that He is his own life,
others are a part,
he is living in sorrow,
the pain is not relieved by gods,
neither by cold words of sympathy,
he wants his individualist human back,
the one who learned to stand.
