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
