Human Nature

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Jan 19, 2021

Human Nature.
Theme.
Writers
intent.
Look around.
Stage set.
Actors in
place.
Script
disseminated.
Action! 
Life begins.
All scripted, 
designed.
Grand theater
on a global
scale.
Greek tragedy
unfolds.
Human nature
surrounds, 
prevails.
Envelopes,
propelling
the story.
Intricacies
abound.
Infinite
ways.
Bound by
human nature.
Human intent.
Limited
story.
Limited
outcomes.
Bound by
human frailty.
Human
ignorance.
Wider story
lies ahead, 
but
not yet.
Results
unclear, 
uncertain.
Future, 
indeterminate.
Human story, 
ending blurry, 
ambiguous.
Authors
discretion.
