Nature vs Nurture

A Poem

By Gary DavidsonPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

An age old query, nature vs nurture

not such, a simple precursor

celestial bodies, in constant motion,

gravitational effect on you, and the ocean,

minuscule yet undeniable, zodiac’s notion,

add to that, hereditaries genetic disposition,

bloods legacy, and linear imposition,

introvert, extrovert, all upon the spectrum,

personality defined, jungian deduction,

crafted by guardians practice

developing your unique madness

friends and family, add the seasoning,

determining your sight and reasoning,

society a most invasive beast,

on your insecurities, will it feast,

too small, large, pale, or weak,

on our life, who are you to speak,

chaos theory, what you may call fated

through your experience, have been created,

so like the butterfly, on the wing,

be your self, let your heart sing,

yes I know you feel alone,

But better that, than another clone,

social commentary
