Humanity's meaning

What it means to be human

Survive or Perish
Thrive or Starve
Conquer or Disappear

Humanity is notorious for destruction, but that is life for this world.

That is what is expected of this cruel cycle.

A continuous cycle, forever turning.

All will end, and begin again.
Such a cruel world.

I agree wholeheartedly with this.
To play devil's advocate I feel I must say that War has been a near-miraculous driver of technologies - which is fine if your not one who died in said war (in whichever capacity or none).
I think LIFE will continue but it might not include humans.
This is a thought-stirrer M.E.

Thank you for the review. I was inspired by actually watching an artist convey humanity's will to fight and survive during great hardships. War was a theme I was toying with while writing this piece. My goal was to thought-provoke the reader.

A powerful use of words and thoughts.
"Survive or Perish
Thrive or Starve
Conquer or Disappear "
The above lines seem true. But 1% of our world control 95% of our wealth. I don't believe the common folk in Korea or the USA want to die or fight. Honest and direct words. The best kind of poetry.

Thank you, and agree that in the larger scheme of things, that common folk do not want to be a part of war and the to conquer. Unfortunately, our leaders have more say in our lives than they should.
Again thank you for your kind words, it will help me continue with my passion.

I'm glad and it is sad. The poor people fight for the rich man gold. You are welcome.
