Man's Complacency

Man’s greatest strength is his mind It empowers him though it may be twisted and pined Better still it has become his enemy too For what he knows and views It has weaken him by earthy temptations So fuddled with many frustrations It is he that is the highest of his species Yet he shows little to no superiority In his perplexed inferiority Draining out from his riddled soul Reduplicated behaviors with little control With fists clinched in a primal stance Where power has given him an ugly glance Lay on the lands on bloody soil Where man and women cry and toil A higher power has brought us here To grow and perspire and love and share Can we turn our heads away? With the pain and sadness driven to stay Humanity must evolve some wisdom and peace Let the fighting and the earthy war’s cease.
