Mere Man

you are only a mere man 
limited in strenght and magical powers
your needs are never ending
you sweat like its a curse and minimize food like its a burden to eat
wretched is your kind 
it shows in your way of life
children cursing mothers or the other way round 
representatives causing pain 
and man takes a hole in the mountain as home
you live complainig and die dissapointed
your needs- more than numerous
your responsibilities unfulfilled
the life of a mere man is better imagined.
