Destruction

Why is a child's first instinct to destroy?
They see a bubble and want to pop it, their big sister does a drawing and they want to scribble on it, they see a tower of blocks and want to push it over, they see a bird and want to chase it.

How far does this extend then? Is it inherent within all of us? Society teaches us to build, but beneath it all are our baser instincts, and perhaps it is those that drive us time and time again to war and death.
We want to be the master of all, to conquer what can be conquered, and destroy what cannot.

Is it humanity's nature to destroy?  

Snowflakes

Where do they go
These creatures of snow
On their whimsical dance
Falling by chance
Like fireflies
On a path only they can see
