The poem “Contents are Human” is about the challenges we humans face, and a sobering concluding statement to put the whole thing into perspective.<br /><br /><br />Contents are Human<br />Poem for Day 013 - 20150113<br /><br />Alert,<br />contents are human,<br />primitive surfaces,<br />soft shoulders,<br />blind curves,<br />steep grade.<br /><br />Caution,<br />contents are human<br />construction in progress<br />beware pedestrians<br />children at play<br />slippery when wet.<br /><br />Danger,<br />contents are human<br />under pressure<br />radioactive<br />explosive<br />live current.<br /><br />So many warnings<br />for a condition most mortal.<br />There is only one remedy<br />for this dire situation corporeal.<br />Live each day to the fullest,<br />embrace your fellow travelers with only love<br />because we are all terribly human<br />and nobody gets out of here alive.<br /><br />© 2015.
