In the human world
we have heroes
and villains
and cowards.
Those who defend life
taking risks above
and beyond self interest
those who destroy life
and those we do not care
who play games of
selfish detachment and indifference.
The Human Condition
Is Conditional.
Everywhere where existence is
and always
in an instance
on any engaging
or immersive day
choices are made
making us what and
how and who we are.
Being Human
We Make Choices.
And choices define us
on levels collectively
as a species
within the relational interweave
of this
time unfolding evolutionary Earth.
And in consciousness
the vulnerable intimacies
of each singular life.
The Human Condition
Is Conditional.
We make choices.
