Patterns.

Patterns.

A Poem by Naomi WIlliams

I see a pattern in human civilization.
Some people are innocent,
Some people are tainted,
And some are rarely just good at heart.

People who have been hurt
either hurt others
or attempt to help best they can.

People who have tried their very best 
either feel loved 
or taken advantage of.

People who have hated
either learn that not everyone is spiteful
or they continue living with spite in their hearts.

People who have barely tried at all
either get lucky and egotistical
or they realize their mistake
and suffer the consequences.

People who have loved
either suffer from horrible heartbreak
or prosper from desired affection.

There's always two paths one can take.
Some aren't that bad,
but others just lead you even
farther from your first intentions.

What path are you traveling down?

Random inspiration set this one off. I had just finished watching The Host and I wanted to write something to make a point.

A cause and effect write here...and then you give us a question in the end:

What path are you traveling down?

Life is a journey...and what you do with it is ticking away...the path is a long and winding road...if we knew the ending...I bet everyone would be more incline to live a bit more each day...until the day they know they are not coming back...
