Luminous Beings Reprise

We are incredible beings
Divine creations
To be human
Is a wondrous thing
We have unlimited capacities
In so many things
Impossible to love
Or to be loved too much
Impossible to learn it all
But try we can
Each day grow into a better human
We make symphonies
We are angels with wings
We’ve been to other planets
Explored fantastic tangents
We are amazing, luminous
So why do we spend so much time feeling like we are less?
Perpetually failing a test
Our life
An unending conquest
For tokens and trinkets
Turned off our imagination
Just to have it
The latest
Most shiny
New thing
But we are not machines
We are incredible, amazing, luminous beings
