Teaching Myself

I
Salvation is the first freedom of humanity
"*****Sapiens," self-defined, "Wise Man" from
Africa, Olduvai Gorge, the Rift Valley, experts say
Research especially why we are special: conundrum -
Every BOOK (& Bible) said we are SPECIAL, mutes (The Academy)

II
Let us not give too much to religion, nor too less
It has been a way to bind people, to overcome the terrors
From far away and near, of Nature and nurture
Everyone is someone only because of THE OTHER ONE.

NOTE: I used the scientific term for our species, "*****SAPIENS" & the editing software, or editing human here, thought I was being prejudiced. We all have hidden prejudices, but that was not mine in this poem. just "*****sapien." (c) Anil S. DEO, shalom shalom (Peace & wholeness to all life) amen
