Nature of Man

Man is dust and clay; So, why carry yourself like a god? Man today, dust tomorrow, Why gather all wealth greedily? Man is dust and clay; Why carry yourself like a god? Man is worthless under the sun, Why do we kill each other selfishly? Man is dust and clay; Why carry yourself up like a Demi god? Grasses worth much more than us Because they suffer today and rises tomorrow? Man is dust and clay; Why carry yourself like a Demi god? Do not put your trust in a mortal man They will fail you in the rising of your prime. Man is dust and clay; So, why carry yourself like a demi god? Man's achievement and activities are evil Under the sun, yet, they are proud animals. Man is dust and clay; So, why carry yourself like a Demi god? Man's wisdom wouldn't save him soonest Why acquire them to destroy yourself. Yours Poetically, ©John Chizoba Vincent.
