Show Me Man’s Kindness (Tanka)

Show me man’s kindness

Show me man’s humanity

In spite of himself

I’m not sure it’s possible

With the evil he commits

    man is only a beast
    who thinks he’s a perfect god
    thinking to be free
    of arcane instincts and drives
    he’s a slave to his limits

    I think that man’s humanity is still just an idea … and unless he admits that he’s still reigned by his instinct and starts to look at this aspect of himself he’ll never evolve into anything more than a naked ape with fire power.

      You are so very correct on this one and the last paragraph really sums it up so well…we are nothing more than naked apes with fire power, that we so freely use might I add. Thank you for this Georgia.

        Don’t mention it Dom … hopefully we’ll evolve into the beings we think we are.

      They confuse me as well. You would think that being one we would have some understanding of our species, but alas, I guess we never will.
