Forget about our evolutionary past. We have even forgotten past moments of our lives. Not to speak of history. Which should have taught us a lot. Especially about the terrible mistakes to avoid. Individually as well as collectively as humans. Yet we learn nothing. Remember nothing. And yet proclaim, that we are the greatest of all.
What a Fall
I am a man a women a toddler
A gawky teenager as well as a child
I am a caveman, a scientist a businessman
A farmer and a technocrat
A multimillionaire and a leader I am
An artist as well as a homeless man
A teacher a preacher I am
I am a worker and a manager
And a nomad
I am also warrior
Who has both won and lost wars
All of them run through the arteries
Of what I am now
Yet don’t remember anything
About them at all
Except what I am
In the moment that’s live
Past has been forgotten
What a great fall
