Humanity & Remembrance

It’s difficult to be proud of humanity
Because of how it has treated humanity
And because most of its grand achievements
Are rooted in aggression or tainted with cruelty;
When it ends, and if anyone is left that could recall
It will be remembered not for its science but for its art
That ever gentle dimension of its ferocious history
Where beauty was truth and truth was beauty.
