The Miasma Effect On Humanity

re-post inspired by a SO contest word

MIASMA

Inter
laced with love,
on the margins,each life
a gift from God,deserving  of 
respect
yet humanity
ebbing
restless,flowing
as the tide selecting
morals,claiming ethics do not
matter
such
self-love
catches us out
and cannot be contained;
overflows and spreads out beyond the
atoll.

Man is the most devastating disease on the planet and yet the one most capable of curing it. Very cool Brian.
