Making of Mankind

What is a man but his last breath 
All that he is he thrives to be 
A single soul like a lone wolf 
Everything we are we choose to be 
A life of obstacles we still persuade 
That in a breath life can just end 
Without notice losing a friend 

They come and go as if yesterday end 
Here for a moment in time leaving a mark 
We know the kindness of heart they show 
Even in life brothers could be brothers 
Love rules our existence even til death 
Making of man, simplest structural molecule 

Two things are certain, to live and die 
Soul of a spiritual alien being 
The persistence to carry on human race 
Always trying to show better for ourselves 
To establish our existence of mankind 
Where would we be without the other lead 
In each one their struggle be same 

Time knows no age, some cut short 
Some from an endless time still wake 
What is it that makes a man his friend 
But a man be their own friend in trust 
Know what makes us is what changes us 
That effort we put forth a lasting memory 
A picture painting with flaw 
Making of mankind, dust covered graves
