To err is human

"To err is human" is an English idiom, I'm trying to show my opinion on human incompleteness philosophically ..

To err is human

all human is err

Neither is an angel

Nor demon, as he tell

Angels come with order

Demons come with chaos

Once between was border

Now a place for humans

Their father had a sin

Was destined to fell

Through archs of angels

Through darks of demons

Bypassing ascends of heaven

then descends of hell

Neither was an angel

Nor demon, he did tell

To err is human

all human is err

"To err is human
all human is err."

Yes, it's really true. No one is clean. All have sinned.
Nice piece!:)

All have sinned, All have sinned .. None as like, one who repent

In a way there's an angel and a demon in us all. The one we allow is who triumphs.

In between the darkness and light
a war begins, somewhere out of sight.
It's within us all... and we dare fall
When the final bell sounds, who will we call?

Your work here may focus on Adam, but great literature also looks at society... this does all that and more. There's a lot of meaning and depth. Congratulations on an excellent write!

Thanks Ara, for your curiousity .. It's abstract philosophy perspective on human and sin

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

Stuck in the middle,
wanting to rise,
yet falling blindly,
back to the middle.
I like the way you say it though.

it's more of a historical image of Adam's fall to earth and metaphorical image of what is a human

This was good, I'm not extremely well versed in poetry, but I could picture what was happening throughout and I especially liked the lines "Through archs of angels
Through darks of demons" I'm not sure why, but it was my favorite part of it.

[Khaled A Khunaifer]

The poem image Adam's fall, at the same time, used the metaphorical image of falling in-between angels and demons or heaven and hell to symbolize what are humans, something incomplete, between light and darkness, between virtue and sin
