Evolved Man
Evolved in thought.
Not easily deluded.
Never self-deluded.
Laser-sharp focus on truth.
Divides the goats of reason
from the sheeep of folly.
Evolved in intellect,
educated, informed.
Repository of knowledge__
both factual and conceptual,
both trivial and profound.
Grounded, self-deprecating, wise.
Evolved in human interactions.
Eludes the treachery of villans,
never villanous.
Extends himself in acts of kindness,
expecting nothing in return.
Open, vulnerable, self-assured.
Evolved in his passions,
disciplined, moderate, civilized,
slow to anger.
Only in his libido,
primitive man survives evolution!

Thank you Ratish for your thoughtful and perceptive comment. This poem is about my significant other, who feels it describes him as he would describe himself. I am very appreciative that you took time to read and relate to my message. Hope all is well with you! Cheryl
