An efficient, often brilliant tool,
differentiated hugely from one
owner to another, owing much of
its potential and proclivities to the
mysteries of DNA strands inherited
through random genetic selection and
marginally through careful
nurturing of that sublime
instrument, the human mind.
So much is evidenced in ongoing
displays of minds surrendering to
emotions rendering rationality moot.
Restored by force of will to absorb, address,
synthesize, formulate, express and relate.
Its functions vast yet unpredictable,
elemental and profound; incorporating
all that is to be human. Minds
intersect, deflect, interact, deny, accuse;
perversely humankind's greatest
strength and most unfortunate failing.
Creation, innovation, passive
acceptance, rigidly divisive attitudes
deliberately hostile, struggling toward strife.
Should a less than fastidious mind take
it upon itself to adopt all the dismally
atrocious, unsavoury, depraved
traits of humankind be awarded
the kindly assurance of a resident soul?
How to be redeemed without a soul?
Sorry: no transfers, no substitutes
considered or accepted. Life is not a
dry run, and the soulless will not be
welcomed to return. Free will elevates
the mind, it does not encumber it.
Reasonable enough; if only.
