Essence and Lament of Elevated Humanity

The following hits heavily on a few core pillars of what it means to step out of the rat race.

In a society running on transactional metrics, a legacy like mine gets overlooked because it's extremely difficult to be monetized.

In a system driven entirely by self-interest and market demand, doing something purely because you care becomes a radical, almost subversive act.

Meanwhile, people selling out their authenticity and their time, completely convinced they are free, only to end up trapped in a "fake theatre."

This is a place where the rules of the cold, harsh world don't apply. It’s a space kept deliberately pure.

The only currency that actually holds its value at the finish line is whether you were true to yourself.

Who in the world cares if seven lives I saved?

You need to function in society that's well-behaved.

Doing selfless deeds where you get little in return.

This elevated humanity is something worthy to mourn!

You're expected to act to get some benefit.

Self-interest is how in society you get fit.

This is a world where nothing is expected to be free.

This elevated humanity is something only few see.

This elevated humanity is something only few see.

Many are quick to sell out, believing they are free!

If you do good you either get exploited or get suspicious,

This world is led by the ruthless and the vicious.

Doing good without benefit is seen as irrational.

This elevated humanity is something that's not normal.

Ah, if only people did good for its own sake.

Elevated humanity wouldn't be something quick to forsake.

But most need to survive with lifelong funds to make.

Elevated humanity they overlook deep in the lake.

Poor the people who fail to meet market demand!

They are either privileged or have little in hand!

I am the former with people I command.

Elevated humanity I dig out of the sand.

The spirit of elevated humanity...

I did much good for my own gratification.

Getting little in return, most might think it was a waste.

But is saving human lives truly a vain mission?

Looking for benefit has corrupted human vision with haste.

Elevated humanity is not seen as something that's from reason.

Selfless deeds are how you rebel against the economy, such treason!

To do good just because you care.

Risk being misunderstood, see if that you dare.

That is elevated humanity's essence,

The reasoning behind this free Article Empire's presence!

Ah, if people would only my vision understand!

To contribute for its own sake within my digital land,

Where truth and honesty are above any market's demand,

Thus kept pure and well-intentioned, a monument above the sand!

Around the world, people their own lives take!

After lifetime of being forced in society's fake theatre to partake!

No other way by most people is seen.

Elevated humanity is a man's rare state of being.

Spirit of elevated humanity...

If we didn't see each other as competitors in a rat race,

Perhaps this world would've been a far better place,

Where people help and cooperate out of the goodness of their heart,

Elevated humanity is indeed a very rare art.

I do not care for how the way things are,

I choose to go to an ideal that's for many is far,

Elevated humanity's... star.

What's the point to all your life accumulate?

It either way doesn't go on with you after your death.

Not being true to yourself is something you might regret.

In this world your true self is something many prefer to forget.

Be true to yourself and elevated humanity you might get!
