'Tis a conceited view of man <br />That we compose the <br />Entirety of sentient beings <br />Relevant to the workings <br />Of all that the universe <br />Encompasses. <br /> <br />'Tis an irrational conclusion <br />That the vast majority <br />Of various possible <br />Creatures or monstrosities <br />Which would give cause <br />To caution the unseen <br />We have unearthed, extricated, <br />Reigned in by us <br />And our ''knowledge.'' <br /> <br />'Tis crippling to <br />The scope of our species <br />That fear of inexplicable <br />Or gruesome powers <br />Rooted far beyond ancient eras <br />Is subject for ridicule. <br /> <br />'Tis abhorrent assumption <br />That adversity lurks about <br />Confined by the flesh, <br />Dwelling only in the physical realm, <br />And therefore rendered incapable <br />Of passing our <br />Parameters placed for safety. <br /> <br />'Tis an illogical notion <br />That this atrocious denial <br />Coupled with vanity <br />Will not ensure the <br />Downfall of humanity.<br /><br />Tiffany Rose Moczydlowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-malady-of-man/
