A Human

This poem is free-verse and I wrote it for my baby cousin when he was born.

An alien enters the world for the first time,

Seeing, hearing, touching, breathing for the first time,

Another member of the family is born.

The infant is helpless and weak, but is constantly being worshipped.

The toddler is curious, always exploring and learning; he is braver than the bravest man.

The child is pure, completing good deeds and seeking for praise.

The teenager is hunger, relentlessly craving for success, talents, and love; but is never satisfied.

The adult is the same.

He is helpless in times of need.

He is curious, constantly searching for knowledege.

He is pure, helping those less fortunate than him.

He is hunger, always wanting and searching for power.

Every human lives a different life and is unique,

But the final experience is the same for everyone,

To be adored by others for the matchless life they've lived.

Very wise and inspiring write my friend..i totally loved this for it tells a whole life,and how we stupidly live it..
A child is born weak ,and innocent and worshipped,so pure
Turning to child looking to be good and praised..
Teenager hungry for success and love,never satisfied
Adult ,the same old mistake..helpless in need..curious
Pure at times helping those in need,but always hungry searching for power
Every human is unique..but at the end they all the same
Want to show of,like the world runs only around them
So greedy and begin to tresspass on others..so little knowing of life and how it is
Very thoughtful ..how you made me think,i just could go on forever
for our whole mistakes start this way..I really enjoyed this
lovely write..

This poem seems very sweet...it's also quite true in my opinion (though I am still a teenager).
