Man Scratch

Man Scratch

A Poem by Radad Ibn Nasir
"

A stick and some mud...

"

 

A man,

Is he and only that,

For when he walks,

He runs right back.
A forgetful being.

Who is forgiven for being,

A creature of intention without seeing.

Great piece. Although I've known some men that weren't creatures of intention but just floated with the current.

This is wonderful, engaging from the first line!
Very well executed, and deeply powerful.
"A creature of intention without seeing"
