Angel Tell Me About Humankind

Angel, tell me about humankind
Not a lie I expect to hear from you
Gift of mind urges me to die for truth
Ear that loves to hear and nurse lies
Lies and slumbers in the plain of lies

Tell me one  truth from these rails of lies
Every man I hear, is a bundle of flesh	
Lying mouth tells me man is a tree
Living and surviving on walls of the earth

Men of robes tell me humankind is spirit
Every action or inaction ruled by Super Spirit

Academicians and Scientists of all colors
Bang tables and shout saying man is an Ape
Overdrafts, blank checks dollar-men give me
Universe is for pleasure- dollar-men claim
Trillions of beads on abacus human life is

Humans are fallen angels in the universe
Under blind power, they act as rebels
Man is dust, came from mud, lives as wet dirt
Action driver is a dark power without him
Non-action driver is impotent power without him
Keeping man in glory is bright power without him
In other cases humankind is an empty suitcase
Nice looking, swollen with big issues yet
Dearest to him is lone survival instinct!
