Patterns of Behavior New
A watcher of people in my spare time
Trying to figure out why they make the choices the chose
When situations present themselves
Will they be selfish or be a hero
Will they look for the good or be mentally paralyzed by the devastation they see
Will they walk in faith knowing the sun will shine again or
Will they let hopelessness and despair set in
Seems to me that we often, are trapped by our own designs
Patterns of behavior intrigue me daily
A player of chess rather than checkers
Trying to figure what offense to use or what defenses (positioning is key)
When situations present themselves
Will I be passive aggressive or bring a full on slot
Will I look to change the world or be a number in the audience
Will I know that change will come, knowing that change is the only thing that will
not change, (Change will happen )
Will I let my being and who I am be dictated by my environment or
Will I keep the human mind guessing
Seems to me that we are often trapped by our own designs
Patterns of behavior intrigue me daily
