Man

I used to think feral beasts scary With their long & sharp teeth The aggressive & unfriendly behaviours Always eager to get a taste... A taste of the human flesh Yes...i used to think animals scary ...Until i met "Man" A creature that looks so good from the ouside Yet so bad from the inside His thoughts are impure They conspire & aspire towards destroying Hostility breeds in his heart Yet his face is graced with smiles His tongue spits venom More deadly than the cobra's A Sweet voice that speaks mean His speech driven by spite, All listeners shall cower... And tremble to the sound of his voice Man is scarier than the lion He feasts on the pain of a brother His "sweet" comes from the sweat... that flows on the necks of others! Malice runs in his veins & his heart cold as snow! Take me to the zoo...& the gameparks in my town To all the thick jungles of the world Where the fierce beasts breed ...At least i know what to expect there! For among man I'm not Safe!
