A Superior Being
A Superior Being
Mankind, the superior being roaming the earth,
for he alone is capable of intellectual thought,
it is instill in his or her essence from birth,
for it is but what each one of us are taught.
If only the reality of substance could be told,
discerning our crude aggressive way,
powering and enabling us to be so bold,
while instilling us conquerors by light of day.
If you upset or confuse us then you will die,
for we kill out of bewilderment and greed,
never understanding or even asking why,
incapable of grasping the depth of our deeds.
Subspecies live in harmony and peace,
surviving in an orderly fashion beyond belief,
the insects and animals kingdom could teach,
our anguish and suffering could find relief.
Superior does not mean intellectually bright,
defined as controlling and dominance,
we repeat our mistakes not seeing the light,
sacrificing all in the name of prominence.
