Primitive Humanity

Humanity's brilliant advances in science 

and technology has brought it to the very 

threshold of nature's divine formula of 

existence as great minds probe the universe 

to reveal the mysteries shielded from view by 

a power whose mastery of life alongside all 

that exists as building blocks of being can only 

be theorized. Of infinitely similar complexity

the human brain, the mind and the soul 

continues to perplex in its manifold guises 

difficult to penetrate, impossible to fully

diagnose. From the cerebral processes of

humanity, the great pedestrian thinkers

to the elite scientists whose minds we regard

with awe, there is the plunge to minds where

the limbic system appears to have overriden

less primitive portions of the human brain

where the spirit inhabiting dark recesses of

emotional turmoil revel in unregenerate malice.

Might it be possible to pursue an impression

that those who prize hatred as a crowning glory

that celebrates murder and destruction halted their

elevation to a higher order of brain function and

the globe's population of tribal psychopaths truly

represent an early form of man, irrational in pursuit

of the glory imagined in conquest and terror?
