Human - Kind?

Let’s ponder the term “humankind”

On so many occasions we find

That each root of the word

Is completely absurd

With both ‘human’ and ‘kind’ undermined

Human - Kind. Two words entirely at odds with how this species so often conducts itself.

A thoughtful and thought provoking poem.

Beccy.

With a few short lines and a bit of brilliance you set our minds into motion. I know it made me stop to ponder more about each word.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Michael!

It would definitely take a lot of brilliance in order to formulate a piece like this!

[Rita L. Sev]

I enjoyed the play on words in this poem. I was inspire to write the following lines that fell on the fringes of my mind:

Be a Bee

It’s understood
by you man-kind:
Honey-bee-good
is all so kind.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) This made me smile... Thanks, Aethereal.
