Description Never in need of anyone,
Peaceful enough as it was,
With infinite alternatives within your reach

But you still wanted to make something from nothing,
And so humanity was born.

Knowing well of the risk,
You did not hesitate
Speaking the life into fresh dirt,
History began when you said those words.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Fyodor Dostoevsky,
You thought of them in your design.

Ungrateful entitlement,
Deceptive pridefulness,
Despite those destructive flaws,
You still went to look for them

Man and God face to face,
Paradise on planet earth,
Not knowing of ugliness,
Though it didn’t last too long

So why, so why
Did you love humanity?
I’m glad, I’m still glad
You choose to love humanity,
Although



No one would have had to know,
It could have ended then and there,
You could have lived as if we never

But seeing something beautiful in what was broken,
You stepped down into the mess, instead

Even then they expected flames to fan the war,
When you said those words, you rewrote the story

Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sarte,
You though how of much you loved them

Cowardly resistant,
Stubbornly ignorant,
Despite the rules they made,
You broke them down anyway

Man and God down on earth,
Rewriting the history’s course,
Though it didn’t seem like it,
Though it didn’t last too long

So why, so why
Did you love humanity?
I’m glad, I’m still glad
You choose to love humanity,
Although



Knowing of man’s helplessness,
Knowing of man’s selfishness,
You thought of who’s to come,
You thought of who you love

Unconditioned endearment,
Sacrificial selflessness,
Though they wouldn’t care too much,
Though they never asked for it



Having what man longed for,
Hearing how man longs for,
You thought of who’s to come,
You thought of who you love

Man and God closer now,
Even when it’s not allowed,
Even when it’s dangerous,
You still loved them anyway

So why, so why
Do you love humanity?
So why, but why?
Thank you for loving humanity.

The years went by, in millennia’s time,
Your love regarded only as a myth
After all, this world had no place for it

Yet knowing this, you fought to love
Ungrateful, reckless humanity,
Although you say we were yours already
