The Flaw In Human Nature

Within every soul, there is an sense of doubt A shred of imperfection, some may say A flaw in the circumstantial creation of man A demon that brings out the best and worst in human kind Twas a weapon used by army greats Used by Hitler, Churchill and the dreaded Amin Used to conquer, to Vanquish, to rule over the weak Used for the suppression, oppression and silencing of the unique Tis a spirit that keeps one far, far away Makes one want to flee, to run, to hide Makes grown men cry and scars young souls for life Famously known as the grim reaper of hopes and dreams But like all weaknesses, it comes with advantages Like a compass, it leads away from danger Keeps us away from the grasp of death Like a sign, a signal before the storm We view it as either an upper hand or a drawback A means of success or a cause of failure But make no mistake It will forever be mankind's nature
