What is, is quite simple

We have created substantial innovation and destroyed whole nations
We have told intimate truth and bold lies
We have loved unconditionally and hated without question
We have cherished life and vehemently detested it
We have charitably given and callously stolen
We have shown boundless mercy and condemned without flinching
We have liberated the oppressed and imprisoned the innocent
We have falsely accused and defended with our blood
We have blamed others for our faults and stood tall accountable
We have readily forgiven and relentlessly begrudged
We have maliciously brutalized and sympathetically comforted
We have silently befriended and publically rejected
We have thoughtlessly procreated and thoughtfully killed
We have pardoned from death row and sentenced to death
We have bequeathed kindness and equal doses of animosity
We have nurtured children and raped them
We have manufactured medicine and guns
We have exalted the power of education and prohibited some from receiving it
We have graciously served and viciously spat upon
We have cheerfully laughed and remorselessly mocked
We have shared generously, liberally and hoarded incomprehensibly
We have created special privileges for some and proudly discriminated against others
We have gazed upon with fondness and stared at with disgust

What is,
Is quite simple
What is,
Is what we have done
