Notes About The Poem

A Particular Species

Oh, what a particular species we humans are
For
At the moment we spend our evanescent life
Undermining the moral foundations this world is built on
Just for a temporal gain,
We kneel before the Eternal when things go wrong,
Imploring, the Lord, to deliver us from
Anything that causes pain,
Forgetting, 
That in most cases, we are the ones who 
Deserve the blame!

Wonderful words of wisdom, my friend Demetrios, as always. Some individuals are eager to point fingers, but as you say, the source of the issue is typically far closer to reality.

So true Demetrios, many always ready to point a finger and blame at someone else but as you say the cause of it is closer to home. Tom
