Is it not human?

Is it not human to be one who eats much?
or to enjoy his childhood and such.
Is it not human to be kind and true?
or to be different, wild, or new?
And is it not human to enjoy literature? is it not human? are you sure?
So then is it human to treat them with hate?
or to argue their culture with a heated debate?
So what is human, and what is not?
That's still an answer yet to be sought.

Sometimes i wonder why hate and discrimination and bullying happen. i feel like an alien on a foreign planet asking "What is human?". Hopefully you enjoy this poem.
