The Valley of Man

The Valley Of Man Man is a God But one who stared to long Towards the sun Burnt his eyes bright with blindness Stacking himself aside like mountains Now miles in between where he is And where he begun In the distance grows deception Further away grows his sun Until Earth that he lives Comes in unfamiliar tones Look across the land in question Then to the sky The sun is gone But in the darkness of the distance As a moon pride can be High and mighty illuminations But all alone in misery So enamored by the falling Silver shines of man Breaks away from his creator Slowly becomes aware Of another that eclipses Be it Able, be it Caine But it is a brother that cast a shadow In the valley of the man
