In Defense of Mankind...
From the deepest contemplation of the worlds greatest thinkers,
from ancient times to the present,
mankind has had to humble itself at the greatness of creation,
finding himself above the lower creatures,yet
lower than the higher intelligences....
We've come a long way from horse and buggy,
drawn chariots and wagons,to
automobiles,and flying buses in just one hundrend years....
from pidgeon messages,smoke signals and telegraph,to
cell phones and instant messaging on the internet...
we've endured wars of conquest,whether
political or for petty reasons of dominance,
only to become stronger from which hasn't killed
the spirit of adventure and the innovation of a pioneer...
we've learned to do battle on the micro world stage,
those infectious pesky bugs which continue to grow stronger,
parasitic organisms which search and destroy the healthy,
yet...the macro world stage has become our biggest challenge...
Circumstance of place,has marked our conditioned mind,
which poses many behavoral challenges,as we
face our most enduring tests in these troubled times,
our ultimate reality,is that we live in a world
of multiple realities,grouped into convention of thought,
in search of solace and sympathy,as we
continue to face conflict and opposition....
Throughout the course of our human history,
we have learned and we have proven,
that with the ingenuity of hindsight and foresight,
we can readily find a remedy to ease the illness
at the macro level...as we have on the micro,
timely patience should be our friend,
instead of instant results becoming our foe....
it took us thousands of years to get to this place
we call our present...let's not in the blink of an eye,
destroy which our ancestors worked so hard to build...
In defense of mankind,we've come a long way,
but....we've still got a long way to go....
