Chaos

Man is lost to doom,
thirsting to soar higher —
higher than immortal skies

Pride often flames
the haughty paths
to the lions' den

Yet, danger to man,
remains unseen as
greed fuels his lust to glory,

Insolence wrestles nature,
and conceit glooms the
sight of his willful mind

Man is lost to doom,
his ego swings the air
till the abyss hugs his soul.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
