I’ve forgiven the human race.

Sometimes I think
Life is like a lover
That treats you like shit
But you love her anyway
My soul beat black and blue
I still thank my lucky stars
That I have her at all
And though it gets better I think:
If only she were a little kinder
Didn’t stretch me so far
Then things could really be
More like heaven than hell
And the truth is I’ve forgiven
The human race
And all its myriad flaws
No longer misanthropic
But oh how she cuts me
With sharks and ghouls
Testing my strength
And lucky for me
I pass the test

At one point in my history I got very bitter about humanity and all the awful things people do to each other. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and say ‘I do it cos animals deserve our help’. The implication being that human beings were undeserving of help and on the whole humanity was a lost cause.
Somehow spending time in prison with some of the worst people in the city made me soften my views on the species and I have learned to love my fellow man.
Like a lover I cherish life but feel like things should be easier on all of us still suffering with whatever issues inevitably come our way.
I’ve forgiven the human race.
Superb 👍
