Our Humanity

Only when we hope in love defined. Do we bother search for our humanity.

 

                                      

Man feels such zest of emotion

 till it sets his whole mind afire

Calling forth his inner demons

fueling him run instead of tire

 

No problem then seems too immense

to not warrant a good man’s deeds

The boy hurt on the inside finds

he is the man this child now needs

 

Life's truths keep turning round and round

generations each wax and wane

 Loving ones pick up the pieces

of the small child that still remain

 

Who among us can rightly say

he has himself just walked on by

To leave the injured child alone

within hearts lonesome soul to cry

 

It seems we need no help learning

epitaphs of profanity

But when our eyes see love defined

that's where we find humanity

 

Author's Note

Will man ever learn his children are his future? Other peoples children mean just as much to their family as well. May we all pause at the thought of pain for any childs sake. To our servicemen I would like to say "Let your heart be your guide and though you might be scarred by your experiences. May your memories flow to the times when the noblest of your nature won out. Will we ever realize just how much we are asking of our children?

I am simply mystified at how your soulful work can stir something so deep in my spirit. Something I can't quite put my finger on, is it the intent, the content, the commonality of experiences you describe or possibly a combination thereof. Maybe it is something which simply defies my own ability to describe that which keeps me seeking out and devouring your work like a hungry puppy. Just loved it and appreciate your shout out to our servicemen.

nice work Tate...it seems the world is encased within turmoil, sadly we see this on a constant bases, though there are many even thousands of instances where the humanity and compassionate spirit is revealed, this is the reality we are faced with. Let us hope and pray the world evolves into a peaceful society.

This is something many people don't understand. Many people think the world revolves around them and it would stop without them. Not realizing life without one of the many other people around would change way more.

[Mysty Johnson]

Beautiful words .... if only everyone felt the pain but they don't. And only writers see it.

[Tomi]

Lovely, just lovely..words can't describe..

[K. D. Kromminga]

As always a lot of good and relevant, thought provoking ideas in your poetry Tate. I like that you are injecting illustrative examples/stories into your words to connect the emotion of poetry to reality. So few Poets are grounded enough to bridge that gap between raw emotion and reality. Well done.

[Mockingbird]

[John Alexander McFadyen]
