Ponder, I bid you, on our corporate existence
appearing with time, earth
and humanity's persistence.
A mystery!
along with all the rest
to rouse the mind and set the eternal quest.
*
Homo sapiens, erect, keen brain and senses,
prompted by insight sought
answers to some questions.
A revelation?
Perhaps it could have been,
presenting abstracts as possibilities.
*
Thinking and logic discerned the inbuilt pattern.
Body, soul and spirit we,
foundation of humanity.
A family.
Gregarious with outlook divarious,
nomads and tribal, populating terra firma.
*
Growing, we pledge allegiance to our nation
proud of our flag
we sing its adoration.
A tragedy
eventuates. We volunteer, take up arms
brother fighting against brother, forcing us apart.
*
History, alas, reveals its sad beginning
Cain slew Abel
or is that mere fable?
A discovery
from time to time sees progress intercede
with warfare indiscriminate, and car bombs in our streets.
*
Let's end this utter waste of brain and human flesh.
All of us are human,
kith and kin of all the rest.
Agreement
with each other, whate'er the colour of our skin.
Our own flag underneath the one, international citizen.
