Mind Nurture

A poor one was born rich

And it lives the part

A rich one was raised poor

And it becomes a puzzle


A proud one was born humble

And it lives the part

A humble one was raised proud

And it spreads the dung


A bound one was born free

And it lives the part

A free one was raised a slave

And it prefers bondage


A bad one was born good

And it lives the part

A good one was raised bad

And it turns out a nuisance


An empty one was born full

And it lives the part

A full one was raised empty

And it files for bankruptcy


An ugly one was born beautiful

And it lives the part

A beautiful one was raised ugly

And it becomes a paradox


An entitled one was born grateful

And it lives the part

A grateful one was raised entitled

And it oozes out a stench


A fearful one was born faithful

And it lives the part

A faithful one was raised fearful

And it habours confusion


A violent one was born peaceful

And it lives the part

A peaceful one was raised violent

And it breeds error


A common one was born noble

And it lives the part

A noble one was raised common

And it thinks so


A greedy one was born content

And it lives the part

A content one was raised greedy

And it never has enough


A wicked one was born loving

And it lives the part

A loving one was raised wicked

And it refuses pardon

...

Nature matters 

But nurture also does

Goods matter

But process also does
