Man Is Nothing and Something
To God Man is ‘Nothing’,
But I maintain ‘Also Somethiing’,
The only Nothing with His Breath,
To alternative views ‘A Real Threat’.
Man: God’s Evicted Dust,
At whom He still looked back,
Because its clothing is ‘A Must’,
To ably cover its front and back,
“This Adam shall have to rust’,
But provide I should his lack …
He is one hell of a Ragamuffin,
While I didn’t in his garden plant morphine.
Then came Adam’s maverick Cain,
Acting like The-Friendly-With-Cocaine,
And God wired him a curse,
But some concession did nurse.
To God, some Moses became Everything,
When a Pharaoh his people treated like a thing,
And God knew to which reasons Pharaoh did cling,
And send God did Moses into the battle ring:
It should be every Pharaoh: Man’s Trust Nothing.
