As We Are
Have you ever belied something?
Something that seems abstruse and arcane?
We've all taken something benign and
Turned it into something vindictive
Who hasn't been callous at one moment and
Experienced ebullience the next
Isn't life just capricious
With feelings that seem to vex
Who hasn't had erratic outbursts
That result in cathartic actions
We've been debilitated by words and
Alleviate pain the same way
Who hasn't tried to bolster up there ego
By using amiable people
When they feel jaded or abase
Who hasn't tried to assimilate an ambiguous
Song to the way they feel
We've all had our effusive moments
That seemed dubious at best
We try to be novel and lucid and candid
We've tried to be docile and have
Attempted erudition , but in the end the
Attempts we make fail, and our ways lie in remiss
Who hasn't been Contentious when no one Concurs with their ideas?
Who hasn't denounced an action or subjected some one to censure
Everyone's been cantankerous at one moment or the next
As people we are convoluted
We impugn things we don't want to be true
We tend to get hackneyed over actions we repeat
We sometimes have issues with pragmatic though
And find it difficult to see what is sought
As people we are ambivalent
Should we be apathetic? Or Impetuous?
Effrontery or quiescent?
After all we are humans and our nature is nothing more that an enigma
