Human Nature

There's nothing more odd than folk nature or nurture will decide our path in life's mixed up world, it's something that we should not expect, never change there's only one goal to live, to love, grow old die with peace in our heart. 9/4/2018 Human Nature Poetry Contest sponsor Edward Ibeh.

I really love this , Roy. The nature vs. Nurture thing is so interesting to me. I believe nature is a wee bit stronger than nurture, as twin studies seem to bear out and also I wonder if we may just be born to be who we are!! Congrats on your win.

Thank you so much for your very kind comment and congratulations Jan, initially I was going to use queer but it was omitted by PS? so changed it to odd, thanks again for your support and hope you are well my friend. :))

Roy, your contemplative verses shine and set up your final poetic thought in your lovely poem perfectly.. The 'one goal', as your last three lines illustrate, is absolutely beautiful in its expression and sentiment. A deep and beautifully thoughtful poem my wonderful friend. Best wishes for a win.. ~Susan
