Among us

Selfishness roam

Thorough thoughts

We seem to see

But we don’t

Life isn’t just ourselves

Or happiness we live in

Or even pain we hide

It’s what our lives

Affects who’s around you

Demon talks through us

Thinks for us

We don’t notice

But it happens.

The question is

what we do about it?

Wisdom we leave behind

Suffering we don’t help

Worry we don’t care

It’s just nature we say.

No nature order

On how we choose to live

Or how we choose to affect

Who’s around us

Or even unrelieved pain

we caused

We tend to walk blindly

Driven by demon among us

Teaching us bad habits

Changing us to normalizing

What’s odd.

Among us

I see peace

I see love

Nevertheless

I also see rotten dignity

Ego grew bizarre

Hatred spreading.

It’s precious to see

It’s genius to learn

Commit to what’s right

Look on a bright side

You’ll shine brighter.
