truly cultured
real humanists
always consider
the magnificence of the
human personality
they do not begin sweating
and twitching
when encountering an
unfriendly waitress
bad driving
loudness
or
shyness
real humanists
understand
not to moan
over
man’s trifles
they breathe in
and out
filtering out
what’s insignificant
remaining serene
cultured people
real humanists
empathize with
people in gutters
prisons
shelters
and crack houses
they account for
variance in the human
condition
the lovely or vile
struggles of
actual people
this is real
Humanism
and
I assume these people
are out there
Great poem!
