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!
