Analysis of Creatures Of Habit



As creatures of habit we behave mindlessly.
Inherent reflexes
perform unconsciously.
As creatures of habit we're on automatic.
When we wake, eat and sleep
are homeostatic.
As creatures of habit we have proclivities.
In our dispositions
are apt propensities.
As creatures of habit we live by strict routines.
Times we love, work and play
are replicating scenes.
As creatures of habit we have firm constancy.
Subliminal motives
act spontaneously.
As creatures of habit we appear mesmerized.
Mechanical robots
are in human disguise.
