We live in an accelerating world, accelerating towards what I don't know. However, I believe in the good intentions of the majority of people, you only have to consider the worldwide response to natural disasters and the coming together of communities to provide support.
Born to Serve
Some were born to serve and others
to command,
a mantra filled with assumptions,
when considering nature of human
hand,
in the whole of life’s interactions.
It is part of our psyche to give our
aid,
even at the earliest of ages,
and also for being on parade,
a dilemma for all of life’s stages.
Hence the proclivity for charitable
acts,
an almost biological urge to assist,
no escaping the wealth of salient facts,
hundreds of thousands of names in
the list.
And yet ego suggests we want to be
boss,
drives towards achievement,
to gain success at others’ loss,
with some feeble signs of
appeasement.
Thankfully most people embrace
kindness,
are prepared to help their fellow man,
empathise with public distress,
and are happy to be truly human.
