Human Nature Human Conditions

I believe the following poem simply addresses our human nature and human conditions:

I am what I am.

 I am happy, I am sad; grumpy, but a funny old man.

I am kind, with a vicious mind;

sweet in front, bitter behind.

 Poetic in heart, philosophical in mind.

I am here, there, everywhere, and nowhere.

I am Iranian, Australia, made in China or Mongolia;

 from India, Greece, Egypt or Libya.

I am descendant of the kings of the East, lords of the West; 

 from the soldiers of the past, or the thieves of the desert sand.

I am what I am.

Abbas Mehran
