Unbalanced. Imperfect. Incomplete.
Humanity.
Distinguished from animalistic predecessors.
By manner and grade.
Yet, Flawed by definition, a test.
As do the tides of time ebb and flow, as does the degree to which this trait is measured.
Where esteem is defined extraneously, and the plight of the accursed, a matter of humour.
Thus, stands the question - what are we really?
