JUST ANOTHER FACE

JUST ANOTHER FACE

 

I am just another face
 Of
The human kind
A  million years or more
 In the making.
The product
Or
Chance meetings
Coincidences
Events
Some fortuitous
Others not.
 A grandeur by design
That is I !
 Magnificent
Everything
 And….nothing
 I share myself
With kindness  and understanding
Honor and dignity
At least I try…
Most of the time
 It  hasn't been easy
Ths "humanity thing""
 But you see
 And do understand.
 I am just one face
Of the human kind
No more no less
Than anybody else...

Neatly said Joe.

You share yourself with honour and dignity, oh how do you find yourself? No, my mother taught me to do just that, and that is the first prerequisite for attaining a life as comfortable as one can make it. Yes we are magnificent, incredible, fantastic all the words of wonder, here we sit writing and other living things cannot, we can think and see and hear and play and create new things that are near as complex as ourselves and yet not create ourselves, this is the puzzle. One can never cease at the wonder of what we have become, its mind boggling and so excruciatingly wonderful isn't it? Oh I am glad to have been conceived a human being, but as you say, its all chance how and what and who and when we do anything with that fact, sometimes lucky sometimes not, we just have to keep going with our lot, "that's life " as you always say, and so it is my Longobardolino.
