Cracks of Humanity
by ME!

Lying down upon your safe bed,
You think of thoughts that comfort you
And in a way, this is coping with the harshness that is life

Survival has always been humanity’s goal
Selfish as it may seem
It isn’t wrong to let nature take its course

Running away from your problems,
You tear yourself apart with guilt
But you’re only regretting the norm

Society places high values upon lofty ideals
It frowns upon the grime that is self preservation and promotion
But reality cannot change merely because many choose to be blind

The masses dictate the actions of the few
And though the latter may be right,
Choice is no longer an option

Poets and philosophers paint the world as a grotesque place
And such works are deemed degrading
But it is their eyes that sees truth in its nakedness

The truth can only be ignored for so long,
Soon it will rear up its ugly head
And swallow the willing blind down into the pits of its stomach

Feel no guilt, feel no remorse
Over deeds that are done out of the frailty and imperfection of our humanity
Coping is a virtue in its own way

Survival is never bad
A person is responsible only to himself
So tread not on this destitute world with society’s eyes

Be real,
Be flawed,
Be human
