The human being

  Each new born   is a medium

For the kind to renew it self

 Little squeaking   birdie

Soon flies off as a bird

A  cub  grows into a roaring lion

 

 

A moth turns but into a fly

But weather a human kid grows up

To be a responsible citizen

Is entirely in the hands of its people

So who is at fault when he falters

 

 

For a child is born innocent, without sin

Who should  collectively take the blame

Whom do we hold responsible

For the injustice and the corruption

The religious discords and the hatreds

 

 

The poverty, illiteracy and the helplessness

The crimes, wars and misunderstandings

The callousness and the contempt

The endless bloodshed of one’s own kind

Mankind needs to perfect itself

Sooner or later children turn into adults and that's when you can blame them. Your poem brings to the surface our faults as civilizations. But those are always with us. Mankind being so imperfect, our societies are always imperfect. Perfection is such a hard state to achieve. Maybe "just a little better" is the best we can hope for. Bob

A very profound poem.
Great line "who is at fault when he falters."
A sad commentary but very constructive.

How so sadly true.

You raise serious questions about the human condition. The old question about whether it is genetic or behavior that determines a person's final makeup. While it is easy to stereotype those that are poor or disadvantaged in some way as having less to contribute to society, often there are exceptions that are indeed, exceptional.

Once we are able to give everyone an advantage and a good start… And that will come with time, we will eventually know how much genetics play in one's final makeup, and may actually be able to fix it by replacing bad genes with good or repairing them.

Brave New World! Here we come. Don't be scared.

I think that many of our minds are full of questions. The answers are there but we don't "see" them.

Love ya!

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
