Why are we as a species addicted to pain.
Its like we feed on negativity without refrain.
I’ve seen leeches suck out less life than us.
What is with our endless selfish fuss?
Dragging down peace to create more conflict.
Starting to think its become an instinct.
Craving that fuel as if we are addicts.
If thats true then that is too tragic.
Fixated on being combative rather than kind.
Turns our entire lives into a hellish grind.
So why don’t we step back and reexamine?
Instead of pushing others buttons like its food in a famine.
Would it be so hard?
Can’t we just try?
End this cycling affliction!
Why are we hooked on utter destruction?
Lapping up vapid corruption.
Basking in the glow of causing others to suffer.
Eroding away a chance at a harmony buffer.
