Human Survival Selection Inadequacies Poem by Terence George Craddock

Human Survival Selection Inadequacies

Rating: 5.0


without fur freezing
in death ice climates
winters too cold

without shade burning
in deadly open plains
no shelter extreme heat

without light afraid in dark primeval night
without fire unable to create industrial might

adaptability innovation
inventions are forced
upon us survival degrees

brain hand eyes
triumph over
hostile terrain

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I liked the way your poem 'Terra' took a topic I have read so often to a unique place, ending the brevity of the obvious human survival inadequacies with 'Are we aliens? ' We are all aliens when out of our home environment, in some places time periods we adapt better than in others.

I like how your poem elaborates the idea of my poem, and thus creating completeness.
