THE HUMAN TRINITY

We are not alone.
Many species
Have multiple
Identities.
Individuality.
Social affiliations.
Perhaps we don’t share
A spiritual self
With others.
Perhaps we do.


So what about the evil
Which pervades the world?
Is it the individual self?
Sometimes.
Is it the spiritual self?
Some beliefs
Preach evil actions
In the name of
Their God.

I think it is
The social self.
Groups at times
Do not care
For individuals,
Using them
For group purposes,
Disregarding
Individual values,
Creating chaos.

That is
Who we are.
The Human Trinity.
The individual self
Does its best.
The spiritual self
Shudders,
But it is the social self,
The group,
Which creates
The chaos
Which we call
Civilization.
