I will never understand humans.

 

 

They love

 

they hate

 

they hope

 

they despair

 

all at the same time.

 

They laugh through their tears

 

until they cry again for no perceptible reason.

 

They support as they tear down

 

they go to war as they sign treaties.

 

They kill in the name of a peace-loving god.

 

They spread their ideals

 

as if they were the universe's only intelligent life.

 

They haven't yet brought themselves to extinction

 

despite all this.

 

 

I will never understand humans.

 

I just am one of them.
