Civilized

 

 

............

 

To have only a paucity of the fullness of life 

 

Due to an impediment, or limitation,

 

Lacking to accost inner fragilities,

 

Can be an unconscious act

 

Born through

 

An inability to accept adversity, 

 

We are suffering 

 

From it as a species

 

In epidemic proportions,

 

But cognitive dissonance

 

Can be an uncomfortable 

 

State of mind.

 

 

When we were babies,

 

We liked crapping our pants, too.
