Poem: The Quest

The Quest

Old questions,

faced down the ages,

by each generation

and each man and woman

in their own way

and in their own time.

Questions, simple yet profound.

Do we accept:

Each against all?

Survival of the fittest?

Go for the throat?

Rip off your neighbor

before they rip you off?

Or do we:

Work together?

Extend our hands in mutual aid?

Promote peace, equality

and human brotherhood?

Simple questions really,

if you think about it ...

when you think about.
