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.
