Our Humanity

Only when we hope in love defined. Do we bother search for our humanity.

 

                                      

Man feels such zest of emotion

 till it sets his whole mind afire

Calling forth his inner demons

fueling him run instead of tire

 

No problem then seems too immense

to not warrant a good man’s deeds

The boy hurt on the inside finds

he is the man this child now needs

 

Life's truths keep turning round and round

generations each wax and wane

 Loving ones pick up the pieces

of the small child that still remain

 

Who among us can rightly say

he has himself just walked on by

To leave the injured child alone

within hearts lonesome soul to cry

 

It seems we need no help learning

epitaphs of profanity

But when our eyes see love defined

that's where we find humanity

 

Author's Note

Will man ever learn his children are his future? Other peoples children mean just as much to their family as well. May we all pause at the thought of pain for any childs sake. To our servicemen I would like to say "Let your heart be your guide and though you might be scarred by your experiences. May your memories flow to the times when the noblest of your nature won out. Will we ever realize just how much we are asking of our children?

I am simply mystified at how your soulful work can stir something so deep in my spirit. Something I can't quite put my finger on, is it the intent, the content, the commonality of experiences you describe or possibly a combination thereof. Maybe it is something which simply defies my own ability to describe that which keeps me seeking out and devouring your work like a hungry puppy. Just loved it and appreciate your shout out to our servicemen.

Beautifully written, Tate.

[Manpreet]

A beautifull thought that sends out a promise to each reader that we still have humanity left inside us that needs to be always kept ahead for all our deeds. Yet another great piece from Tate the great poet I know!!

Very profound and full of layers of meaning, every time I read it through something else strikes me as this is so thought provoking. You come out with some really great writes with such regularity. ' Seeing love defined 'and 'inner demons' are brilliantly worked in and sound just great
