What’s Wrong With Us?

What’s wrong with us,
why can’t we discuss,
our addiction to a lust,
that grows when we fuss?

Why do we fight and fight,
never turning wrong right,
or, the darkness into light,
true feelings show insight?

Why do our wounds never heal,
or, overcome what keeps us ill,
hold on to good things we feel,
or, allow love to warm the chill?

How is love possible without trust;
where lies the key to our lust;
why can’t we do what we must;
can we save it from death to dust?

Why can’t we speak our minds
without treating us both unkind;
and, recognize that love is blind,
leave destructive thoughts behind?

It’s a riddle in a puzzle,
a joke in a limerick
rebus without pictures,
secret code without key,
an ever-changing mystery,
that is never resolved,
unplanned plots end,
before even beginning,
beginnings never end,
answers to questions
that never match.

What’s wrong with us?
