Mankind

The direction and pursuit that man endeavors to,
    Follows a complex and convoluted path.
Where the distant future is left in question, and
    Survival or extinction are answers to the math.

If purpose is the map in this journey, then
    Multiple trails may lead to far and distant lands.
Yet when looking back upon some historic carnage,
    One may only wonder of any current plans.

There are many guides added along this trek,
    Attempting to point the way and evaluate.
While technology and spiritual fingers seek a union,
    So each step won't lead to more hate.

As humanity takes a hard look at itself,
    It must decide for the sake of it all, what is best.
Then, one can only hope that an evolved wisdom,
    Becomes the tip of the spear, towards this quest.
