Su Ben Poet Free verse

Deserted Field

I wished for a man to be greater than a man,
he became a god doesn’t know the meaning of humbleness,
but is self righteous;
from the sky he flows as a cloud of arrogance
rain pours with no consideration on inhabitants of the earth;
on the footmarks he left in the field where the sun rises and sets,
you see only unrecoverable ruins.

I wished for a man to be less than a man,
he became a beast doesn’t know the meaning of love;
he attacks anybody, anywhere and anytime to slander others;
there are bitten and torn remains of defamed ones
scattered all over in the wilderness.

Disgusted from life on the other side of the world,
though, I came back to the world of human society
I found that men are still unable to keep away from covetousness,
furthermore, 
men are wandering in the empty fields of neither god nor beast
to find a blood sacrifice it doesn’t matter whom to offer.
