HUMANITY

HUMANITY Action and reaction, equal and opposite We hear, but just what do we make of it Do we let loose and curse or merely spit When arrows rain, how shall we respond It does take pressure to make a diamond And unavoidably, we will all get physical One can argue that it’s all about balance With nods and smiles as merely a valance As even we might then utilise our talents To react with equal force, maybe in kind With daggers of steel, or just of the mind When angry, it’s no time to be whimsical Humanity and animal instincts kept apart And was meant to be from the very start Yet both have physics at their very heart The very first instinct is always to survive And perhaps with luck and skill, to thrive Yet the desire for good over evil is critical
