Thought for the day
The Dark Side
We all have our dark side - we mostly suppress
When it does emerge - it can cause distress Because some are still primitive - some evolved
If we really want to- It can be controlled
Is it part of our psyche or built in rage Released by an action at an early age
Both female and male - have this inside To protect our off spring - nothing would hide
Nature’s way - for mankind to survive
Roger Leask 10th Jan 2016
