The Two Temperaments of Man (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom

The Two Temperaments of Man Two temperaments mold the mind of man, One motivates him to find the one true, exclusively predetermined path toward God. The other to engage in an eternal, never-ending search for Truth. While the one leads to an answer, an arrogant stance, a bold assurance of knowing something for sure, The other leads to questions…… an openness of mind, The faith to doubt…… a humbled heart. More than just a simple choice, a decision that one must make, It is the sine qua non of our existence as a human being, The very thing that we allow to take charge of our lives, That which will necessarily determine the character of our relationship before God.

Dear Dark Angel:

Well.......... That's a very good question indeed. As you seem to be implying that it would be best for me to no longer post my poems on the poemranker site. However, because of the apparent lack of quality (or perhaps as you might say, "the sorryness or the obvious lameness") of my pieces, I have no other place to go; no other place "that would have me." Even though it is extremely obvious that I have no ability to write poetry, I would like to have the opportunity to keep trying..... although I am sure that given all the time in the world before I die, I'll likely improve very little. I don't know what to do.......... I know that you would like for me to opt out of The Poemranker Site (And I am sorry that I have been such a pain to you and have been such a drag on the site itself), but I am going to try to keep doing my best anyway.

And please do remember, that I always appreciate your honest attempts to help me to do better!

Thank you very much.

Your Friend,

Doug Soderstrom
