Arrogant Creatures All Lost In Vanity


Many have tried but all have failed
yet even these losers are often hailed
Mortal man trying a utopia to make
only succeeds in getting lives to take

All the deaths caused by these men
tens of millions murdered in the end
Hitler, Stalin and Mao all did fail
surely those evil three rot in Hell

Creatures all lost in arrogant vanity
destroying worlds with their insanity
There can be no true paradise here
man operates on greed, lust and fear

Man's imperfections invades all he builds
rots bountiful harvests in fertile fields

Your message is vivid, clear and conspicuously imaginative. Good work and definitely a 7

The words you’ve chosen paint a tragic picture and anguish is transposed to the page. Very colorful and descriptive with an air of fear that surrounds your thoughts with its presence. Emile.

Yes...it's so sad, isn't it. There is no act that will go unnoticed by God. Great write!
