Human

I am torn apart

Between right and wrong

What road am I supposed to take…

It is so obvious

So why as why?

Everyone knows to take

The damned road

That frees us all

Of all that could be painful

Frees us all

Of our worldly possessions

So why do we ask why

It is a dumb question

Better yet a rhetorical question

For a question like that

Requires no such answer

So why so we sit

Moping around all day

Crying over our losses

Or our failures

Why can’t we build upon

The bad and make it good

Or learn from our mistake

We know that half the stuff

We do is wrong

But we continue

To do as we wish

Do we see anyone who

Really does what they

Are supposed to do?

Definitely not

So exactly why do we

Take the hardest way out

Cheating ourselves of all

That is great to us

All that could make us

Such happier people

The answer to that question

Is such an obvious one…

It is because we are human.
