Why is it the nature of our kind <br />to be an egoist <br />to serve only one's self-interest <br />and leave others in the abyss <br /> <br />Why do we hate and destroy <br />Why do we harm all unknowns <br />And no matter how hard we try to escape it <br />it seems engrained in our bones <br /> <br />Why do we only seek our interests <br />and deny our humanity <br />Why do we minimize our connections with others <br />and with our reality <br /> <br />I cannot answer these questions <br />no matter how hard I may try <br />I reflect on human nature <br />and can only ask myself...why?<br /><br />Evan George Blum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/human-nature-17/
