Cynical
I am a cynic
Never trusting
Ever watchful
Taking nothing
At face value
Quickly assuming selfish intent
For that is the nature of humans everywhere
But slow to assume positive intent
For few have a nature of good
And even fewer act on it
But
Can a cynic be a poet?
For poetry is an art
And a cynic cannot appreciate
The twisting
Metaphorical
Strange
Subtle
Beauty of art
I like to think
That I write poetry
Maybe
In the never ending war of my mind
The poet occasionally wins a battle
