The Best of Us

In the fallow fields that are this life
Amid anger, angst, boredom & strife

Lies at the heart, the best of us
That justifies the rest of us
A spark against the rising storm
Affirmative divergence from the norm

We stand, we speak, we raise, react
Kindness, bravery & tact
Love, genius, selfless act
We turn mythology into fact

How would we live a different way
If we touched our best on every day

If we humans are to be judged as a species ,I would far prefer to be judged on the good many do rather than the evil committed or permitted by others.
