The Rest of Me

The rest of me is categorized as others
Including "It", "him" and "her", they're me's peers 
The philosophers have said it rather smart 
That all "it", "him" and "her"  are similar to "me''s physical traits 
But differ a lot in interests and ideas:

The democratic  politicians insisted that they are politically equal
And the human populationist believed: they are alive as a whole 
...
But something has long confused "me" is that
Why so many of  "it", "him" and "her" that "me"  never knew
 (in any sense, such as meeting in person 
 Or any relationships could possibly be existing)

I personally reckon  that "me" is a unique soul
And "it", "him" and "her" are duplicates as "me"'s shadows 
Because of the blood in me could never possibly  be immortal 
Once "me" is gone, "it" or "him" or "her" will come to  continue
...

You are a philosopher and a poet, my friend. Perhaps we are all just fragments of the same mind looking to find meaning. Congratulations on a well deserved POTD. Hope all is well. JC Hawkens

“Duplicates as back ups” - this concept is delightfully put into your terrific poem. A favorite for me.

Thanks Caren! I modified it as "shadow" in order to rhyme with other lines...I humbly hope you would agree to the modification... Best wishes indeed! Have a nice weekend! Xuefeng Pan
