Reality of Man.

Reality of Man.

A Poem by Elinor Williams

Don't ever say sorry for how you feel.
Felt.
Feel.
Because it was real.
To you now, or at least then
when your eyes burnt them.
Yes, you were angry.
I know you feel guilty.
But you're human.
and as Hu-men
they will understand
that you are not a brand
of artificial intelligence
without evidence 
of our relevance
to our inheritance 
of the skeletons that have lived before us.
You are alive and you celebrate our trust
with forgiveness.
Man's only weakness
is himself.
And your selfless baptism of fire
will give you your wholesome wealth.

I agree with the logic in the poem.
"Man's only weakness
is himself."
Better to test life and have no fear of mistakes. I know from experience (Old age). Good to be fearless in life. One day you will wish you were. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Man's a savage. We're the same as we were back in the day when the Romans had public executions for entertainment

Man's only weakness truly is himself. I caught myself nodding intensly throughout the poem. Lovely rhythm.

Well written in your own words about "Reality of man", a poem's made under the too many thoughts of life about man or his nights.
artificial intelligence
without evidence
of our relevance
to our inheritance ...These 4 lines's got some kinda deep meaning in too many forms...and all forms're suited on it. Great write, your Imaginary seemed creative. Beautifully penned.

Exactly! It's hard when you feel guilt to forgive yourself. But the sun never apologises for shining.. read more
I like how you set this poem up with the quick lines. I like the repetition of the -ence/-ance lines. Yes, we are human and imperfect and that's okay.
Great job!
