Living With an Egocentric Creature

Humans come in many forms
Appearances and hues
With imbalances of the mind and body
It is hard to determine the stability
Of one’s outcome
Without cohabiting a singular journey
Have you felt this known strangeness?

Many days trace across the universe
Aging the thought process
To formulate a combine experience
That is not equal to the latter
The proverb mentioned togetherness
Fighting self-absorbed and faceless
With upfront falsehoods

Spewing words that lacerate
The psychological braces of the consciousness
Not noticing the fresh springs of the eyes
As the aquatic travels the falls of the lids
Answers are feuded with potency
Poisoning the words as they dance
Across the brain drums of a separate

Self-appraisal is at a distinctive feat
Assuming that conflict has been coincided
Only to have the lyrics wedged
With a reversal of sonnet’s projectiles
Piercing the stoned muscle
Incased in red liquid and harden tissue
Remorse is for the feeble

The turmoil of peasant concentration
Not knowledgeable of the progression
Struggling away the reality
Forcing the guilt of an alternative
Sightless to the compassion
That restores the equilibrium
Of an egocentric creature

"Remorse is for the feeble" This line struck me particularly. I've heard many people say, "I have no regrets...etc." But if all my regrets could be counted they would certainly outnumber the meager days of my life. I think regret and remorse is necessary to growth. Admitting one's mistakes is the first step towards correcting them and by so, improving our nature. Admittedly, it IS a never ending task as we shall NEVER reach perfection but I also believe that "human nature" should NOT be used as an excuse for complacency. As Van Morrison put it, "You got to fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay." I enjoyed reading this and I admire your ability to turn a phrase. Only the contrite can ask forgiveness. Love is humble. Knowledge puffs up but love LIFTS up. And it's always easier to tear another person down than to build them up. So my question of myself must be...do I want to be a friend of my fellow man...a brother to every brother and sister of my species with which I share this planet...or shall I look down my nose from the pedant's stair and condescend to those I see "beneath" me? I had rather serve than be served and I had rather love than be loved. I had rather give than receive for in doing so I believe I represent the better portion of what a man should be. Tenderness takes great strength. It only takes blind rage to be a brute. And as Jesus said, "Wisdom is justified by her children." The egocentric do not understand these ideals. Your poem was excellent, entertaining and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing your talents.
