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.
