Have you ever <br />wished …someone <br />dead? <br /> <br />Is there in truth, one <br />among us Who <br />hasn’t? <br /> <br />Is there one among us <br />Who’s ne’er bitten <br />Their tongue <br /> <br />And wished someone <br />who is…simply <br />wasn’t? <br /> <br />Have you ever <br />Squished someone <br />Mentally? <br /> <br />In your mind reduced <br />Them to a gelatinous <br />Mass? <br /> <br />Have you ever recoiled <br />From ugly images in your <br />Mind? <br /> <br />Sure you have! ! <br />Each… and every one of us <br />Has! ! <br /> <br />Deny it? … <br />don’t even <br />Try! <br /> <br />Buried deep within <br />The back of your <br />Brain <br /> <br />Lurks the primal beast <br />That we were once… and still <br />Are <br /> <br />But the beast ne’er comes out… <br />At least… rarely comes <br />Out <br /> <br />Until someone… <br />Pushes us... too <br />far<br /><br />David Whalen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-re-only-human/
