Useful human

Useful human

A Poem by Greg

What is the use of a human being?
A human doing.
That loves the thrill of the purchase.
To consume and reproduce.
With total belief and dependence
on the system that keeps 
us mind-locked.
When we all can be, and do, 
so much more.
But for now the future
lays behind a self-locked door.

The new world is cold. Few want to see the pain and the suffering.
"When we all can be, and do,
so much more."
If each of us did one kind deed daily. The world would be a better place. I enjoyed the poem. Open the door to a long conversation. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
