Aspiring Heavenward, Mired in Life's Gutter

The Cradle Humankind – Maropeng, South Africa – Taking the Big Break

We look with wonder at the world around us

aspire to unlock the secrets of the universe

devise analytics of ingenious design enabling 

astrophysicists to surmise properties of 

unseen particles dispatched by nature to interact 

and produce the building blocks of the universe 

yet our very own mysteries of humankind's

reaction to our very selves divided by the species'

variant attributes producing wretched antipathies

through which to prey on one another proceed

apace to go undiagnosed. Where groups sequestre

among their own while scorning and degrading 

the inheritance of 'the other' bringing to bear 

the venomous hatred of differences leading to 

an endlessly repeated simmering cauldron of 

inhumanity mounting humiliation and misery

on hapless targets in cycles of vicious atrocities on

sufferers whose causation remains unaddressed.
