Some People They Never Seem To Learn
Some people they never seem to learn from life I'm one of that kind so I should know
And some never stop learning 'til the day they die as people they spritually grow
Those with depths of feeling never talk too much they learn with their ears and their eyes
Born with the gifts of empathy and insight they grow for to be very wise
Some people they have this great desire for power all others they wish to control
Spiritually impoverished 'til the day that they die they live with darkness of the soul
Yet the perfect human may not exist 'twould seem and the near perfect so hard to find
Perfection from pure innocence can only come and will not be found in human kind
Some people past mistakes they seem to repeat from history they never seem to learn
The ego it always seem to over-ride the power they should have to discern
Before they pass judgement on others and create the us against they
And always it is the big egos the egos that get in our way,
It is said from life we have been learning even before we learned how to crawl
But I must be quite a slow learner from life I've not learned much at all.
