Humans

Biochemistry fueling conflict between survival instincts and morals

Every day I wish I was less human with these human impulses

Every day I wish I was more human with these learned impulses

Humans full of greed, envy, and jealously

Humans full of compassion, kindness, and selflessness

Goals so clear yet instincts embedded within

I am afraid I will never be less human than me

I am afraid I will never be more human than me
