Patterns.

I see a pattern in human civilization.

Some people are innocent,

Some people are tainted,

And some are rarely just good at heart.

People who have been hurt

either hurt others

or attempt to help best they can.

People who have tried their very best 

either feel loved 

or taken advantage of.

People who have hated

either learn that not everyone is spiteful

or they continue living with spite in their hearts.

People who have barely tried at all

either get lucky and egotistical

or they realize their mistake

and suffer the consequences.

People who have loved

either suffer from horrible heartbreak

or prosper from desired affection.

There's always two paths one can take.

Some aren't that bad,

but others just lead you even

farther from your first intentions.

What path are you traveling down?

Author's Note

Random inspiration set this one off. I had just finished watching The Host and I wanted to write something to make a point.

A cause and effect write here...and then you give us a question in the end:

What path are you traveling down?

Life is a journey...and what you do with it is ticking away...the path is a long and winding road...if we knew the ending...I bet everyone would be more incline to live a bit more each day...until the day they know they are not coming back...
