Humanity are like fruit
With different flavours
Going around life
With distinctive behaviours
Some are sour
Like lemons
Their attitudes
Like lethal weapons
Others are pleasant
Like exotic fruit
You love being around
Their attitude
Some are bruised
That needs repair
Different people
We have out there
Fruity Flavours
Each a distinctive taste
Just like people
Some gentle, others toxic waste
