Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Joy And Disgust

Humans never fail to shock or surprise me
When l think l have them sussed
Human behaviour at its best or worst
Fills me with both joy and disgust

There is so much goodness in this world
Kindness toward our fellow man
Yet ,incredible selfishness and hate
Impossible to comprehend

I do not view life through rose coloured glasses
I just try to focus on the positives and kind
Not always easy to achieve 
If not …..l would simply lose my mind!

Be prepared for a knife in your back best done by ignoring you but smile in your face at the same time. Really zany people do this. My only allegiance is to God,my family and country.

Ink Empress June 23, 2024 at 2:15 AM I agree just when we think we have it all figured out, we see reasons, more disappointments etc as much as there is good in this world, the selfishness and arrogance always leave me disgusted!
