Why Humans Are Like That

Why are the humans like that?
Filled with wile and treachery,
Using others as doormat,
Wittingly.
Can't they be simple?
Pristine,
As ripples,
As machine,
Who can't lie.

Why humans are such quintessence ,
Of sham drudgery?
Climbed on the fence,
Avidly.
Can't they just be good?
No hate, no tricks,
Just love throughout.
No cynicism,no narcissism,
everyone equal around.

I wonder ,
How good the earth
Could have been.
If it was shaped on 
Anvil of love and peace.

Even after the Millenial Devils will rise. there will always be free will and comprimise.If you knew all the answers the world would be a bore. But with ideals and cunning we are able to soar. Love is never played on a field. It suffers the moments from which it yields. It waits for the moment of it's repair. Our patience, our poetry a reminder were their.

My dear Curie... you are asking too many why questions... We are unable to do some of those things you asked for... We have to learn from Dogs.
