When I Call You Human

I am calling you human.

When I call you human, I am calling you what you are.

I am not calling you a freak or stupid like some will do.

I am calling you human.

An evolutionary miracle.

The apex predator of the known universe.

A species that can speak.

A species that can dance.

A species that can feel.

A species that can write.

A species that can love all that is beautiful in this world.

A species that has computers.

A species that builds to the sky.

A species that has gone to space.

I am not degrading you.

I am not calling you part of a species that is hateful, though some of us are.

I am not labeling you sex, though some of us will.

I am not labeling your gender, though some do.

I am not labeling your capacity, though many may.

I am expanding it.

I am calling you by your true name.

Homo Sapien- the wise ape.

I am calling you by a name that signifies that you took millions of years of the evolutionary process to create.

That took strong people and brains and skills to survive.

I am calling you smart.

I am calling you strong.

I am calling you creative.

I am calling you capable.  

I am calling you something that can feel emotion.

I am calling you amazing.

I am calling you human.
