Übermensch
A super duper human being
formidable and staggering
superior is what I'm trying to say
Impervious to bumps and dents
is the splendid übermensch
a superman in every kind of way
The concept is a feature
in the thought of Frederick Nietzsche
in the latter nineteenth century
Suggesting through philosophy
that the übermensch should be
a goal to set for all humanity.
Ubiety
When I'm here I'm over here
And when I'm there I'm over there
And either way I have the quality
Of being in a specific place
Filling that specific space
The state of which is called
ubiety.
Ubiquitous
I think you’ll find
ubiquitous
Is a word synonymous
With any word that means being “everywhere”
Omnipresent comes to mind
Being all places at one time
Like God who’s here, somewhere and over there!
Ubuntu
To have in you the quality
Of caring for humanity
Is what it means to issue ubuntu,
You make it then your passion
To offer up compassion
To those who maybe need it more than you.
The word is not an English noun
But is a word that can be found
On the tongues of those who speak Zulu,
But though it is South African
It is a concept that we can
Say is an essential human virtue!
Ursine
I'll never get over the time
A friend of mine cried out, "
Ursine!"
I wish that he had rather said instead,
"Don't look now but over there,
There is a most ferocious bear!"
For if he did I would not now be dead!
