Analysis of Human Nature

I am an avid observer

of the human psyche.

I am in midlife,

have seen enough.

I found patterns:

people will betray,

but will not say sorry.

They will not accept guilt,

carry the baggage

on their shoulders,

as if to feel better.

Will cover it up,

sweep dust of shame

under the carpet,

engage in blame games,

and then kiss death.

That's human life.

No need to call

ourselves demi-gods.

We are supreme apes

but when misled,

we are devolved monkeys.
