Archetypes
copyright © 2003 by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.

Monarch and lover, magician and fool:
Such is the palate of colors from which
Jung tells us all our support groups are drawn.
But, if you order now... Wait! There is more!
The teacher who feels he has nothing to learn,
The student who fears he has nothing to teach.
The lawyer, who challenges all of the rules,
The judge, who decides what the sentence will be.
The addict, whose drug is the process he works,
The analyst, questioning words left unsaid.
The joker who feels it is all just a lark,
The separatist, thinking it's not about him.
The leader who's lost when he loses his flock,
The follower, searching for someone in charge.
The doomsayer, knowing it's all for the worst,
The dreamer who prays that it's all for the best.
The zealot, who reckons that faith conquers all,
The cynic, insisting it's too late for hope.
These are the men in my circle of life.
I know them well, because each one is me.
