Do you really want
To know yourselves well,
All of yourselves, all

The humans as one
Pattern of being
Animals of Earth?

Wouldn’t you rather
Know your own people,
Your special people,

Special history?
Wouldn’t you rather
Be sure of your own

More correct beliefs?
Aren’t you most intrigued
With yourself, the one

Breathing body you
Have been all your life,
You on your journey,

Your unique journey,
Wouldn’t that make you
More like a human?
