A Strange Lot We Be

What a strange and curious lot we humans are.

With our hopes of redemption, and our blatant desires

which lie solely and insecurely on our infernal perceptions of need.

For oft it is, through this life we ensue

unto contrary oblivion to our spirits renew.

We grind and grumble,

we make merry and chortle

Yet still we fail to see�

Oh what a strange lot we humans be.

J. Allen Wilson � Four 2006

This is excellent. You gotta see the humor in the human race. As Jimmy Buffett says, "There are fruitcakes everywhere - I saw one yesterday roller skatin' naked on Santa Monica Blvd."
