Humans

The body does not support the mind,

The mind supports the body

War does not support the earth,

Peace supports its presence

The end is not the end,

It is a beginning we all will die for

And mistake, it is not your folly,

Mistake, it is our evolution

So death, is not your searing terror

An empty life, will always be your living Hell

And the pain, you should not seek to spread it

In your love, you will show the world your best

To make the worst into something better

From something wrong

We make what's right

It's what it means to say you're human

So the Mind, it supports the Body

And the Body, it just did get lucky

MIstake - it's our evolution - yeah and it seems we like to evolve the hard way

'An empty life will always be your living hell' - oh how I can relate to this. My personailty type flounders when there aint nothin going on - always looking for new somethings- experiences, challenges, smells, people ...

this is a positively positive piece of writing :D X

There is no easy way. Some people just get lucky.

Not enough of us embrace the struggle of becoming the best version's of ourselves. They expect it to just come if they let things happen. That's not how reality works.... most of the time. The role of chance sometimes confuses people into thinking they will always have bad luck, or good luck. I don't believe in luck, I know of chance though.

Very true and great pearls of wisdom shining in each stanza. Advices and words to be heeded. Kudos for an awesome poem!

Fascinating stuff and very well composed.

[Davidgeo]

Thanks boss. I was worried this might wander into the convoluted land.

An interesting and captivating write from start to finish! ~Sharon

Usually I try not to attach a song that is several magnitudes greater than the poem. Thank you very much though. I'm sure we'll run into each other again.

I concur...a great social comment wrapped in lovely writing. You had me at the title!!!

[Davidgeo]

Thanks man. While I do love Cher I didn't mean to leave that song underneath. Music is a big part of this bullshit that I write. That old timey jazz cover of Gotye is... it's very worth listening too.

Cher is spectacular on the regular though.

[Crowley]

Yes she is...I agree wholeheartedly. she makes me smile. I will listen to the Gotye song, I have not heard that yet.

Listen to the original version first.... it's, something extremely special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY
