The Human Race

We inhabit this enchanting palace Phenomenons beyond belief Indescribable beauty, inexplicable mysteries But with love and hate and grief Often it can be entrancing A gullible child's fairy tale Silk woven cocoon from a caterpillar's loom Or a dreamer with wind in their sail There are times it will be enthralling Like watching a high wire act A purging volcano, devastating tornado Or excavating antique artifacts But some things are sadly appalling Such as hunger and greed and waste Injustices galore , we selfishly ignore Just remember there's only one race. original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
