HUMAN POTENTIAL

 "We are beings of light, love, music and happiness."

                                                                            —Duane Elgin     
                    
                    We come with grand potentialities
                    That with good circumstance we’ll realize
                    Fulfilling our implicit destinies,
                    By which we Homo sapiens grow wise.

                    Unfortunately, because of many traps,
                    Distractions, and our own misguided choice
                    We prove instead of sapient simply saps,
                    No outcome at which angels will rejoice.
