I'M Only Human Poem by Ernestine Northover
I'M Only Human
When we make mistakes and exclaim, 'I'm only human',
what are we trying to say?
What are we apologising for?
As humans, are we only just above the lowest form of animal,
on this planet.
Where's our intelligence, our pride, our self respect.
Why can't we see ourselves as perfect structures,
created by an inspired architect.
We should stand tall, be proud of what we are,
acknowledge our worth.
Why is it that when we falter, lose confidence,
become unsure,
we can't help saying, 'I'm only human'.
It's a sad realisation to arrive at,
don't you think?
But then again, 'we are only human'!

A nice piece about man's ultimate failings. Well written work. Love Andrew x
Ernestine, yes, the ultimate all useful cop-out, ... overly used but sometimes legit. Great write! ! Brian
Ernestine, Unfortunatley in my experiences when people say 'I'm only human' it's an excuse for them to behave badly. Set your standards low and you won't be disappointed, no? Good job. I liked this one. Shannon
You're right, we should embrace a god-like view of the human.
