Mankind

Mankind are that kind of people: Who think they know where they are going But don’t know where they stand, yet so grand To call themself "intelligent" but intelligence Has no space for stupidity and the painful reality Yet stupid-ness is our greatest weakness, and I had to witness The truths we call lies and lies we call truths As we lie to ourselves just to hear the truths Don’t you get it mentally? But visually don’t you see? Like tear spark up emotions, they words spark up devotions To the truth: that in life we live but yet we live to die And wandered why our mothers cry and inside they die Regrettably, you’ve got to know this regardlessly That scientist: people who claim to know the earth; Claim to know that outer-space but don’t understand the inner-space The brain, the mind, the third eye for the blind. Even school has to learn from life, That in life you take a test to learn your lesson ‘Cause next time you won’t be guessing Or messing and have a chance for passing You must be hard headed, 'cause you'll surely learn As times turn; wheel churn and riches do burn
