ELEGY Poem: Human Nature, by Emmanuel Akinrinmade

Despite how different we all are
We are drawn to each other
Like little drops of water finding other little drops of water
Like moths drawn to light
We repulse each other
Slowly like the Moon and Earth
Like magnets

It’s in the human nature to ruin beautiful things
You can see this in things like nature
You can make a mistake and say it’s human nature to make mistakes
No one percent or born with instructions
But how many mistakes are too much for people?
