me

drifting toward four score years
i have pretty much a lifetime of experience
and
i have felt hurt
i have sensed hate
i have been accused
i have known prejudice
(hidden as principle)
i have observed irresponsibility
i have witnessed cruelty
i have done many things i could have done better
but
I’m pretty sure most of you
have experienced the same
to one degree or another
and
all of these i’ve experienced
seem pretty animalistic
void of humanity
so
i shall try not to succumb to those things
again
i would rather be more
human than that
and
love
care
be responsible for me
and
try to do the right thing.
