Unveiling Hidden Truths: How G. S. Katz’s Poem ‘Issues with People’ Reveals the Complexities Beneath Everyday Faces
Ever wonder why some folks seem utterly charmed by the world but can’t quite stand most humans? I mean, here’s a curious concoction: a person who’s punctilious about bills and civility, yet utterly irked by the very people they interact with daily. Is it just the grumbling passage of years, or something deeper—a quiet rebellion of the soul against the cacophony of social demands? This piece reads like a manifesto from the lone wolf inside us all, who offers a nod to dogs, a wary eye on peers, and a wish for simpler, sweeter encounters. It’s both hilarious and haunting—kind of a social survival guide wrapped in witty verses. So, if you’ve ever felt that pull between politeness and pet peeves, this one’s a refreshment for your disenchantment.
I am a person
But I don’t like people
I pay my bills on time
Hold doors for women
I have good manners
But people get on my nerves
Maybe it’s the aging process
Or something worse
Stay out of my way
Unless you bring good cheer
I wish it were different
Dogs YES, People No
The lone wolf has spoken
Have a nice day
