a poem by William Blake

THE HUMAN ABSTRACT

Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody poor,
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.

And mutual fear brings Peace,
Till the selfish loves increase;
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head,
And the caterpillar and fly
Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat,
And the raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The gods of the earth and sea
Sought through nature to find this tree,
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the human Brain.

What has happened to to my faith in mankind? The examples around me are are showing signs of weakness, ignorance, immaturity, and an over all lack of human responsibility. I feel as though I am starting to not be able to blame myself for my own realizations of the lack of reliance around me. Though i wish this was juat a rant about a bad expierence or a result of a bad day, it's not. This is starting to be a fact and a common outcome of missing ambition and selfish motives. I can't seem to try to actually help except by saying. WAKE UP! today is not just your time to be pushed or to start getting things on track, but to address your weaknesses instead of accepting them. Everyday should be a step closer to achieving the ultimate understanding of who you are and who you want to become for the better of yourself.
