Poetics IV: The Human Nemesis

To grow authentic, to progress human,
it helps to know what you're up against

A finite number of issues historic define
The Condition Human

All pertain to human conditioning and
from the ashes, three arise precise

In order of awareness they are these:
Self, Other, Authority

Their source you could search, which
seems futile in a lifespan

Their solution you could study, that too
eludes the mind's grasp

Better to sit with the predicament
and let mystery reveal itself

But can the creature of reason
really settle for revelation?
