You Know Who You Are

You
You who do good
You who steal and take
You who are blessed and kind
You who cheat and harm
You who are honest and forthright
You who lie and connive
You know who you are

You spread rumors and coerce
You smile at strangers
You beat and molest
You are generous with your time
You snicker, you chide
You are gracious
You know who you are

You who gain at others expense
You who share your prosperity
You who scream and shout
You who cry for justice
You who hate
You know who you are

Who am I
Who are you
We know who we are
We

 

YES!
I wonder what you were doing this time when these pure words arrived. You can't contrive this kind of poetry.

 

yes and it surely is confusing sometimes.

 

I was reading a novel with a typical contrived ending. The good guys won, but I thought to myself this is not always the case and then the words popped out.

 

So many faces of human nature, and what is frightening at times is when an undesirable trait comes up from what seems like out of nowhere and casts a shadow over who we thought we were. Hopefully one is able to fight it back and not allow it to take center stage. A very insightful poem gf.
