Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly broken
I think about that story that claims
That the first sign of civilization
Was a healed broken bone
Because amidst a harsh and hostile environment
When any extra burden could be the difference between life or death
We became something more
We became human
Choosing each other over our animal drive for survival
And I keep thinking about what that says of us today
If the telltale of civilization is that it cares for it's wounded
If what makes us human is that we do not leave those in need of help behind
It must mean that at some point
We became something else again
Something worse.
