Breaking Cycles

Life is repititious,
cyclical and enduring,
So predictable that
history happens over and 
over again,
Breaking the cycles of
dysfunctionality is not easy,
Patterns of familiarity are hard to shake,
If terror and criticisms provide results
it becomes the norm,
People will use those actions until they are worn,
Destroying the life forces around them,
as a nuclear war demolishes when poison
surrounds,
The circular motions perishes everything
growing out of the ground.
