Fatalism

Idealists or poets conceive
of a world I wish I could believe,
devising abstract nomenclature 
for a world where there is no hate - 
but you cannot change man's nature.
You cannot change man's fate.

I appreciate the subtle dose of reality--well said. I agree.

Yup, probably true, but sad.
