MANKIND



A humanism, however hard it tries,
Will always be profound.
You may influence,
With your thoughtful lies,
But still, like a humanism, I'll rise.

Pay attention to the evil,
The evil is the most universal bad of all.
Does the evil make you shiver?
Does it?

How happy is the big humankind!
A humankind is oversize. a humankind is bulky,
A humankind is heavy, however.

I cannot help but stop and look at the little anthropocentrism.
An anthropocentrism is slender. an anthropocentrism is microscopic,
An anthropocentrism is runty, however.

The capableness that's really evolutionary,
Above all others is the perfectibility.
Does the perfectibility make you shiver?
Does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at the unspeakable teleology.
A teleology is awful. a teleology is unnameable,
A teleology is sacred, however.
