The Human RACE

There I go thinking again

 

 

Ignorance is not bliss

When the scene is

Technologically enhanced.

Digital spirits

Make for microchip souls

Hearts are solar powered

Not plugged in.

A mind should be a source

Of free will,

Not a prison for information.

 

Why be a stone

When a river is a lifeline

To Mother Nature?

 

If blood is thicker than water

How can so many

Have ice in their veins?

 

Is THE HUMAN RACE

Taken to literally?

This poem makes us stop and think about the world around us, and I would rather be a river than a stone any day plus with time a river with cut through the rock! I don't know why so many people ice in their veins but I truly hope I never become one of those unhappy souls.

Alot to think about here instant faves...."Ignorance is not bliss" great way to start it since many believe otherwise...but I agree in a sense...like I said you've made me think...great poem!

I like the poem. We are blood and water. I work with people who are cold and heartless. I wonder how they were raised. You raised up many questions in the poem. We need to listen to others and try to hold on to human kindness. A excellent poem.

So true ~ In this world of ours so many do not
have an ounce of compassion toward their fellow man
but rather think only of themselves~ very deeply expressed!!

I like this. We as a race are technologically blinded to what we have around us.
