The Human Condition

I’m not really sure how life came to this

more specifically, how I came to miss

opportunities to utilize my innate gifts

well, that’s not really accurate, I guess

I know why I didn’t listen to my Intuition

it’s a flaw that I like to call the “human condition”

over-analyzing information that’s freely given

because the human brain has its own selfish mission

I have never wanted to believe the things I see

when those things can and will be painful for me

for everyone else I can give accurate advice so free

what I meant to say should be said more accurately

I knew, going in, that things would never be the same

I knew, the brutal truth, when I heard his evil name

nothing about this person was even close to being sane

so, I guess, what I am truly trying to explain

the ability to avoid all the torture was told to me

signs showing up every day proving overwhelmingly

I had passed up an actual warning from Spirit to me

so, truth be told, it’s more my fault than anything
