An interesting creature we are indeed.

Contradictory in nature.

Capable of beautiful acts,

and monstrosities.

Expecting pleasure,

only to repay with pain.

In all candor,

it is true we are fickle.

We destroy the planet,

yet we mourn and complain about its downfall.

Abusing the love and kindness of others,

in expectation that love and kindness will still be shown.

Taking advantage of others,

and fighting the consequences

We disguise the gift of life as a burden,

and make the beauty of the world appear nonexistent.

It is no wonder that some don't want to be in it.
