Contemporary Man

Contemporary Man

 

Contemporary man
is a runner
in a grueling marathon;
the more he runs,
the farther away
he moves from the dust
of the runner ahead,
whose name is
“Peace.”

 

 

 

انسان معاصر

انسان معاصر

دونده‌ای‌ست
در ماراتنی نفس‌گیر؛
،هرچه بیشتر می‌دود
بیشتر دور می‌شود
از گَردِ دونده‌ای پیشِ رو
به نام
.آرامش

    So it would seem indeed. Man has been running for millennia and it seems that the separation between he and peace has grown greater and greater. Well said.

      Thank you. Indeed, it is a sobering thought that despite all our progress, the distance between humanity and peace can sometimes seem to grow rather than diminish. I truly appreciate your thoughtful reflection and your kind words.
