Nicely described, Al. Though I must admit that I find man’s true instinct is basically self-serving, and that yes, evolution has forced us to be kind.
Thanks, Susan. Yes, it does seem that both elements have served us, but I think posssibly, that as the world grows more complex, self-interest will become more of a problem (not that should be abandoned entirely).
Al, really like this, a different approach from you. I’ve been struggling with much of the same philosophy as your narrator. The especially resonates:
reject
the evolution
of black-hearted
false friends that
piss on my shadow while
smiling in my face
Ah, hypocrisy… gotta endure it, I guess. peace…
Thanks, Linda. I simply walked away from these particular ‘friends’, but the really does seem the only answer. That, or simply endure it, though I seem to be growing more solitary (though that may be a function of where I live).
This was wonderfully emotional and philosophical. Great poem.
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
