Poem
Why, the greatest enemy of man is man for man has subdued everything else Fear not the tiger, fear the murderer's plan Just hearken well to what history yells! At times twas jingoism, at times a rancorous desire to do harm Fear just man's malice and his ugly evil If his dagger blow fails, he'll get you by black magic charm His heart and mind alone well shelter the devil. For how many fall prey to lions or snakes one could even count them on fingers Man invents a cure for smallpox but missiles too he makes and he mercilessly kills without harbingers. Man invented as many things for his destruction and harm as he did for his benefit and good He's inventor of bombs as well as tractors on the farm And doesn't he detest acting as he should? Man alone is behind the bloodiest of bloodshed The angels too had foreseen his wars and battles From the gory battlefield to the humble homestead with the shrieks of murder our earth forever rattles! Close your doors and your home secure not to deter beasts, but to lock out the robber, the thief For no greater danger than man lurks there for sure Fear not the fierce bull, that you can turn into beef! Wild beasts might be known to gobble us up but isn't man as well found to be a cannibal? Gosh, humans too on human flesh do sup Man tis far more fearsome than any poor animal. The greatest enemy of man thus is man himself How much blood has he ruthlessly spilt of his own kind Look out for the bottle of poison on his shelf Till the deed is done, no knowing what goes on in his mind. The poor young lady refrains from venturing out at night How now, what does she so fear? She fears nothing but assault by man's might so rarely is she stalked by a grizzly bear! Fortunately for us, this ain't how it always ends man can always be the best of friends So we can still count more on buddies and cronies instead of focusing on foes and fiends. For man he can be a hero and saviour if judicious he is about right and wrong behaviour. Besides religion as I know, infact does actually foretell That the end of ALL killers and murderers is that inferno of divine wrath we all know as hell!
