Are We A Dying Breed? Poem by Kelvin Owusu

I hope not. Those people you mentioned were always here the only difference was we were not bombarded by the media with news about them.

I see where you are coming from, and agree with what you say. There are still lots of 'good' men out there though - don't despair. Well written piece of work, by the way.

a little bit dark but great.actually i love dark poems.because the dark shows the bright. maybe you are an idealist? some say as far as the life exists the rappers, murderers, traitors, child molesters, or stuff like that exist too? ? ! ! but still humanity lasts.cause there are still people who really care about it.there are still people who work for that. thankenstein~nb

a man will kill to protect his family from an intruder a man will find ways to feed and shelter his family but to do a brutal murder molest a child or beat and rape its not the sign of a desperate man yet more the sign of an uneducated twisted individual

Hi Kelvin, this is a very deep but sadly true reflection on the modern man as portrayed in todays sick society, the problem is it is not a new phenomenon it is just more widely available through the mass media, humankind have been murdering each other since their inception and will continue to do so, we are a brutal species our history shows that clearly, if there's one consolation it's the good far outnumber the bad, great piece of work, keep writing.

There certainly doesn't seem to be much hope for humanity the way things are, but maybe we have to reach the bottom of the pit before we can climb up - hopefully this will soon become the case. Great write.

man needs to include woman... each human being needs to peep within to see.. the despair at the atrocities well brought out...

Separate the monsters from the men! It is easy to look around and see monstrous atrocities. They are hard to ignore! Women will rule the world lol no but I agree with Mr Brown. There are still plenty of good honourable men about, (and some very horrible women) I also agree with Mr Robinson, it's a mixed blessing all this technology! Thought provoking poem! Cheers!

Thanks for this very relevant poetic piece which is actually giving the real definition on what it is to be man. without this definition of a true man, then certainly the breed of men in our world is a dying specie. Thanks for this great challenge, Kelvin.
