This is a “humanity plan poem” that is about a needed change in man’s (and I am putting the responsibility and blame here on the male gender, more so than the female) aggressive mindset identity that exists in today’s world. This identity/mindset has historically resulted in many of the negative outcomes and ill affects often perpetrated on people and other forms of life on this planet. Man today, and historically, has often been a plague to himself and to others by believing in what I call a “macho” identity. This identity/mindset has roots in prehistoric times, which man continues to identify with in today’s world. The violence, the discriminatory thinking and actions, and the aggressive behavior that is exhibited in today’s world is a direct result of man’s mind. In order to see real change, man needs to better understand what is required for blissful existence, which is that man’s consciousness needs to change. This I believe is where the root of the problem lies, and if we do not go to the root of this problem, then we will continue on a road that will be more chaotic than it has been, using a band aid approach to stopping the bleeding.
A Humanity Plan Poem
In the beginning….a long time ago…man discovered aggression.
He lived and survived
then with passing of time
existence was no longer dependent on a combative mind.
But he continued to see power in his macho ways.
Aggression perverted….resulting in malaise.
Barbaric lessons learned
Bullies created….and superiority desires yearned.
And hatred pervaded….and took deep root.
And before its appearance
in the alleys and streets
sprouted in the mind….grew in the heart….and now it repeats.
Violence does not come in only one form.
Real peace and tranquility will never ensue….until they become the norm.
For an onslaught has emerged once more….and if we ignore
Circumstances will ignite….a deplorable war.
And if malevolence continues to rise and advance
Care….love….compassion….does not stand a chance.
So who is to blame?…. Is it you…or is it the other?
This hostility against….sister and brother.
Change is possible in the hearts of men
but perceived strength needs to be reformed….and the questions are how and when?
Leadership….support….protection….should be the true qualities of man.
Now is the time to give birth….to a caring humanity plan.
In the beginning….a long time ago….man discovered aggression
lived and survived.
And now during this moment in time
blissful existence impossible….without a peaceful noncombative mind.
