needed

* needed *
The talent of humanity
In art or humour
Those things which apparently
According to biologists
are not required for our existence
For our ongoing survival
And yet could we function as well
Without humour as a valve
For the oppression of our masses
Doesn't art by appealing to other areas
Of a brain mainly primordial
Allow us to practise thinking
Thoughts higher and more temporal
Than where next meal is coming from
In building cathedrals
Our ancestors thought of form and beauty
Bestow majesty upon these
Gathering halls for God
For even in Nature
Beauty means strength
Elegance and grace is efficiency in form
Without aspirations artful
Or humour to ease social interaction
We could not have risen
Achieved humanity's accomplishments.
