Human - Kind?

Let’s ponder the term “humankind”

On so many occasions we find

That each root of the word

Is completely absurd

With both ‘human’ and ‘kind’ undermined

how can you make me laugh with such a convicting indictment .. a unique power in your poem .. i am simply blown away ... making my own reality check right now ... commit to be kind .. no matter how bad those "others" drive :)
great job Rita!

Well come my dear

"Human kind" is a lot like "military intelligence"… both are two words combined that don't make sense.
But I have a saying, "Humanity never goes out of style, just some hearts don't have and fashion sense."

Ha! Good point, Dale!

you are so clever and give us much to ponder, always, Rita...

I ponder the world myself, Jacob... hoping someone can help me figure it out... Thanks.

Why are none of us able to live up to the standards we set for ourselves?
Could it be that we keep tripping over our own overblown ego??

Is there some way to get the "I" out of the "id"??

[Rita L. Sev]

I like that, Angel - so true!
