What Makes us Superior? 

Maplespal

What Makes us Superior?

  

what is spoken comes from what our memories have heard and seen

experiences of life reflecting on where we have and have not been

everything reviewed for an understanding of the subjects at hand

through our own reflections our opinions they grow to expand

  

what is remembered from what was experienced before

provides insight into the situations we need to explore

nothing to be reviewed and nothing intellectual to say

without our view to guide us along our informed way

  

what is seen and what is known even if blind

view is the most important part of our mind

without view to explain a locations site

there’d be no words to explain it right

  

what is view without our eyes and mind

this notion we would spend a lifetime to find

it's what makes us superior, it’s true

not the point of it, but our view

  • Comment from author about the poem: Simply put, we as a species are able to formulate a view, that is why we are superior. We are superior because it’s the view we have of ourselves as a species. Even though we are not superior, we are simply superior to lesser species. And we only think they are lesser because that is “our view” of them.

    Not sure what you are saying with this. Superior? Mankind has made a right fuck up of it then. .

    • Maplespal

      Yes we have messed it up really bad
      but still we are aloud to have an ego

      • Doggerel Dave

        'aloud to have an ego'? Wot mean this?

        • Maplespal

          Having a view enables one to view themselves as better, therefor we give ourselves an ego and then selfishly display it. perhaps not aloud, but rather we think we are able to have it. and subsequently end up displaying it for others to see.

          • Doggerel Dave

            In all probability right. Humanity seems to me to be founded on stupidity and ignorance, when the facts are known and many could acquaint themselves with them if they wanted to.

            Indeed point of view does determine what we call superior. It is all in a point of view. Nicely written
