"The Parade Of Humanity" by Bobby Torpey

Lately, I've been watching the parade of humanity. The three ring circus of action, behavior, posture, and what a pathetic spectacle it is. I have seen textbook examples of bigotry, arrogance, ignorance and petulance, and I am deeply saddened. I must look upon these poor souls with charity and sympathy, but it is, indeed, painful.

I search deeply in my mind for the right word to describe my ideal for the human race; not innocence but-yes, becoming; it is the state of ever growing, ever learning (both intellectually and emotionally).

Grace is the human being who looks upon him or herself with humility, and others with understanding.

Grace is the human race at it's individual and it's collective best.
