Purposely flawed(Spiritual Hardwiring)

Constantly duped by conflict
Desires turned to tragedy
In this universe of hostility
Always drawn to tragedy
In curiosity
Of who will strive and survive
In this narcissistic play of humanity.

Hardwired and programmed to convey duality
Compelled to abrupt hostility towards another;
Reflecting back-
Questioning the reason of the sporadic negativity
Expressing the instinct of duality.

Through flawed programming
Humanity becomes an expert in the art of healing
While destruction remains instinct.

For the fate of destruction is also the joy of
Rebirth being
Reconstruction being
A form of
Healing being
A key to human evolution
Into a new spectrum of duality.

I really liked the part where you stated 'Through flawed programming
Humanity becomes an expert in the art of healing
While destruction remains instinct.' I chortled at the truth as i read this section.

It makes me wonder, if every one saw this poem and felt it like I did, would anything change? Great work Chris

i'm not really into all of the repetition. it just reads strangely to me, for some reason. other than that, i really like this piece. i especially like the second stanza.

Nice poem. The first time through the last line in the first stanza read kinda odd, but then it read fine. Dont know why, maybe I just stumbled on the word "narcissistic".
