Species
we are nothing more and
no less than a species
living in our own times
hunting, foraging,
fornicating,
multiplying,
killing, being killed,
killing one another
the importance of our
lives is of our own doing
that dentist appointment,
the trip to the market,
the unpaid bill, the
un-filled gas tank, the
un-washed dishes, laundry
these are important because
we have made them important
we are still just a species
occupying our times
.
those times will end
we are seeing to it

Nice poem.
Thank you! 🙂
yes, they will end, to some, a waste, to those who look within this is all just another experience to add to our journey… love and peace to you 🙂 Michelle
Thank you, Michelle! Let’s hope we don’t end as a species. It would be our own doing. 🙂
yes, yes it would be our own doing… crazy!
It sure would be crazy.
What man creates man destroys,simple isn’t simple anymore,a nickel is not 5 cents anymore neither is a penny,people are effected by the change till they are allergic to the coins that man once made
We have the ability to do good and create a better world but we always seem to go to far and wind up doing damage and then that nickel is just a piece of metal.
Our “Fleeting Supremacy.”
Forcefully said, John.
Thanks, Peter! 🙂
A great one, John!
Thank you! 🙂
great one !! i find so much truth in the line “those are important cause we made them important” , it is something so obvious but most of the time we forget about it
Thank you, Maria! It’s easy to lose sight of the things that are truly important when we focus on those things.
Lovely poem.
Thank you! 🙂
🙂 Welcome
Either we evolve or devolve.. either way, the planet will correct… *us*..
Let’s hope we evolve. 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
Stark but true. Unfortunately.
Thank you! If we can’t move forward and improve ourselves, time and history will pass us by. That is unfortunate.
How could I not like this post, upon the topic of which you wrote, I have to declare that you took the words straight from my mouth. Very well written, it was a joy to read.
Thank you! Sorry I took those words from you. My bad. 😦 😉
Tis okay, you’re forgiven this time, just don’t let it happen again. LOL 😉
Well…WHEW…I won’t let it happen ever again. Promise. lol 🙂
Haha Sure, sure… Seems to happen frequently as if we’re on the same wave length lol.
Just don’t wander too far inside my head, you may end up lost, confused and possibly injured, it’s dark and damp in there.
Those waves just keep bumping into me. 🙂 I don’t know what it is lately. Maybe it’s my Dr. Evil mind wave machine. I’m not sure. 🙂
Dr Evil, eh? lol Any relation to Dr Jekyll by chance? This mind wave macine, can it predict impulse or just thought clustets? lol
No relation just a bumbling evil doctor. I’m not really sure his machine works. If it does work I can only hope it can predict impulse. lol
“We are seeing to it” sadly this seems to be true… Capable of greatness but leading ourselves (and everything around us) to ruin…
Thanks, Irena! It is sad that we seem intent on heading down that path but we can hope it’s not too late. It’s great to meet you!
