The Human Way

Of all the magic in this world Humanity does find the flaw Morality twisted and curled Living tale of a monkey paw We'll never learn More bridges burn Wishes of more wants than needs hurled Destroying the very last straw Upside down now, right and wrong swirled Rinse, repeat, to the top we claw Never middle Human riddle June 14, 2022 Posie Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet

I just read your wonderful poem, Hat. It is a sad truth we can't find the middle together; instead, we choose sides. It's the dominance gene, I guess :) Take care.
