What defines humans as significantly different?
Religious philosophy often point to reason,
-as mans imprint.
Less observant minds suggest the process of work
-and feelings of love,
Though alas, Tis none of the above.
The unique quality in human kind, is not,
The cancerous overpopulation, opposable thumbs
or social nature
Nor is it the destructive behavior,
of the
- religious creature
What makes man different is not general to the whole,
Yet a virtue that few manage to develop,
by the time death, eventually envelops.
Therefore, most
-though how we may refuse,
Live out their existence in the same undivine way
Where ours habits,
-we don’t necessarily choose
Resemble squirrels at work, and at play.
Of course, there is little negativity in that fact,
other than illustrating the absurdity of human arrogance.
What are the qualities that make us human?
The ability the stand on the shoulders our predecessors pain
For a single being, without the knowledge of centuries past
is nothing but a mammal, caught in the midst of nature’s chain,
-perhaps even last.
So, the individual
With no external influence
What makes it human, what makes it a nuisance?
Start with a definition,
An ability to step out of the present reality
acknowledging infinite places where things may stand.
Where the endless apparition, of what could be
may be found tangible, even likely
and then there, you may find man.
To see a true meaning of humility,
an appreciation for all known and unknown.
Insight, the missing link, the gene of humanity
that only a few have found,
To see within,
-with out abstracting the out.
