The Way People Are

People do the things they do From “normal” to bizarre Because, as often is observed, “That’s just how people are.” But lumping them together, Even though some traits are shared, Implies that those who give And those who take can be compared. We all have things in common Yet it’s surely not a fact That because we’re human, there’s A certain way that people act.

Have we been people watching again? :) New York City, I'm sure is an endless array of vision's of humanity. To lump us all together in any way, shape or form. Is to demean the very essence of individuality. Viva la difference. :)

I've said it before, Ilene, but it's worth repeating: you should publish your work – why deny so many the wisdom of your words and the easeful way they read. What a gift you have! Thanks for the stop by about the pyramids. Hope you're enduring the heat. / M

Interesting verse ilene, but we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes, I think we'd be very boring if we were all the same. Tom
