ABIDING

I do wonder,
How do man begin to become sullen?
How do their tongue quickly grow froward?
How do they fall prey to gullibility?
How on earth do they get so weak?

I ask again,
Why do they flee from responsibilities?
How does their brain think?
How did gods become dogs?
How dwindled is their mindset?

Why would they be bad tempered,
And yet blame it on someone else,
When the temper reside and evokes
From deep within them.
Tell me, why has this been abiding?

How do they enjoy
Speaking ill of someone else,
And detest the same,
When presented to them.
Tell me, why has this been abiding?

How do their difficult mindset
Become so naive,
When false statements are made
Of the one they should trust.
Tell me, why has this been abiding?

Know they not,
That the results of their anger,
Always will be their pain to bear,
And sullenness,
A poison they ought to refuse?

Know they not,
That offensive remarks,
Sticks not to the one it's intended for,
But to the instigator
When proven wrong?

Know they not,
That what they choose to believe,
And what they choose not to,
Goes a long way,
To make or mar them?

For how they think is their choice,
And their mindset becomes the voice,
That they listen to,
In everything they do...

For man abides in that which is abiding.
