Mankind 1980

Scarcely are men born from wombs comfort torn Cast upon a raging sea Made up from his family tree A road bound for unhappiness Interlaced with varied bliss taught at time when he is young to sharpen up his wagging tongue Should he ever learn to share He is also taught beware Hopefully he'll become wise before he learns to value lies They'll be schooled in selfishness Hold to views that they express Inoculated with this seed this propagated gardens breed Still there is some chosen fruit Chanced to thrive within this shoot Whose inclination is educated For their innocence are berated Highly prized a virtueous treasure a value difficult to measure Illumination that they give Make it worthwhile even to live and for us when life has ended we've soared to heaven and hell decended COPYRIGHT © 2009 C.
