In Understanding People

In uderstanding people I've a long way to go And even those close to me that I think I do know I do not know that well I've come to realize The workings of Human Nature never cease to surprise The words of a cynical one I recall Everyone for themselves and God for us all The one who first said that may seem a lesser light But that person though cynical may have been right A scientist or psychologist or psychiatrist in the World one could not find Who would understand all of the workings of the human mind My long standing friends with fondness I recall Though I feel that I do not know them well at all And when I dislike in my friends some of the things in them I do see Those are the things that I do dislike in me.
