Self Centered

Self Centered

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Self
centered.
Self
impressed.
Humanity.
Cradled
in ignorance.
Existence
as understood.
Residing
on the
head
of a
pin.
As currently
constituted.
Creation
scale
information
beyond
understanding.
Scratching
in the
dust
still.
Looking
up.
Cluelessly.
Beliefs,
superstition
based.
Modernity,
built on
creaking
foundations.
Lost
in the
endless.
Much
to learn.
Perspective,
limited
by design.
Introspection
lacking.
Self
reflection,
restrained.
Wrapped
in base
animal
instinct,
logic.
Babes
in the
unlimited
lands.
Understanding.
Grand
understanding,
horizons
always
out of
reach.
Such
is the
human
condition!

Oh! My! I was trying to shut down and saw your writing!
I am dragged back by my curious nature into a wonderland of . . . wonder!
Me, I am just beginning to appreciate the beauty of poesy...I love this... "The well arranged words of a poem are like the melodious harmonies of a beautiful symphony." Beautiful!
