Humanity Has A Bad Name

​Humanity has a bad name,
And I can appreciate the shame,
So many mistakes,
In so many big and little ways,
That we have learned about,
And therefore from,
But we fixed the black death,
That wont happen again,
Maybe something else will come along,
But we will fix that as well,
We went to the moon,
Several times,
And when we learn how to move fast,
We will probably stand on Mars,
Then beyond, the limits are our own,
It is highly unlikely that we are here alone,
We invented systems to give everyone a home,
A job, a safety net, a place to be your own,
It might not have all the problems solved,
But we love problems don't we?
We are the great force of doing,
Action and feeling in the world,
Hearts like loving mother's arms,
And like father sustaining our form,
Our reputation is unsound,
There's a lot of bad to say,
So let's say less of it,
And be grateful for the day.
