People - From High School

 [Written around August 2001]

People

I really believe that people are strange

I, being one of them, makes no change

They have a nature so controversial

Their reasons are only known to the doers


Many say people have basic needs

To live, to grow, to survive

But it may seem as if the mind

Does not agree and pays no heed


The miserable boy you see on the street

Would deem Paradise a small piece of meat

The beautiful, rich, teenage daughter

Thinks it's damnation to eat from another's


People may have misinterpreted this,

But I'm not blaming anyone in the least

I just meant to say how the mind is adapter

To everything that, since birth, it capted


This means that the mind does not react

To the former needs that this body should have

It simply makes thoughts perfectly clear

About everything that people see near


T'would seem this process is quite efficient

But there's one thing it leaves deficient

All people are ambitious, everybody knows

But as thoughts expand, ambition also grows


Ambition creates the field to progress

But it also brings problems in the process

So that, by nature, Utopia can't exist

No one can escape problems, no one can resist


No matter how hard people try

They will always try to get up high

It's not bad, it's just so unreal

How the mind always makes itself heel


Of course, it all seems natural

It's what we know, it's factual

But still it doesn't stop surprising me

How animals can be happier than we
