Human


How does one define humanity

How can  I define human nature

The human condition that knows hate ever passionately 

but also unconditional kindness 

How can I explain fickle minds that 

sometimes embrace ignorance so blissfully

but create extraodinary technologies that save lives

so the answer  is, there is no way to explain

this unapologetic, compassionate, hypercritical,

idiosyncratic, conundrum this so distinctively,

Human
