Human Nature…

How can I talk about you
Without being judgmental
How can I talk about myself
Without being narcissistic

Sapiens are survivors
So I’ve been told
Its our most fundamental instinct
To first and foremost
Consider self before our very own

So, in living
We become competitors
and in death
We become yardsticks

But even then
Still not a standard
Cos things are a’changing
All day, every day

Toughs get going
As the going toughens
We swim against gentle tides
Fighting our way to the peak of nothing…

But in the end
May all we do be worth all the trouble!
