Who Are You Anyway?

You are the brightest, most amazing of all species,

the smartest planet earth has ever seen.

You travelled all the way to claim your precious victory,

to find a place somewhere that suits your dream.

Within your journey you became another creature,

adapted to the places you passed by.

From the Horn of Africa, cradle of your existence,

to a world that passed the limits of its sky.

The place you're born, the tribe you seem to fit in,

how you look, and what they told you to believe.

The food you eat and the language that you speak,

to the habits of the peers that you perceive.

Go down memory lane to reveal the oldest tracks

of human beings that got shaped along the way.

A storyline of a million generations

in the code of your ancestors' DNA

Who are you?

Please, tell us your name?

Who are you?

Is it the concept you call your own brain?

Who are you,

when different strangers have formed your domain?

Who are you,

when you find out you're just a link in a chain?

I am, you are, a phase in evolution,

as some flotsam from a far forgotten age.

We are the seeds for the strangers of tomorrow...
