John Chizoba Vincent Poet Classicism

Nature of Man

Man is dust and clay;
So,  why carry yourself like a god? 
Man today, dust tomorrow,
Why gather all wealth greedily? 

Man is dust and clay; 
Why carry yourself like a god?
Man is worthless under the sun, 
Why do we kill each other selfishly? 

Man is dust and clay;
Why carry yourself up like a Demi god?
Grasses worth much more than us
Because they suffer today and rises tomorrow?

Man is dust and clay; 
Why carry yourself like a Demi god?
Do not put your trust in a mortal man
They will fail you in the rising of your prime.


Man is dust and clay; 
So,  why carry yourself like a demi god?
Man's  achievement and activities are evil
Under the sun,  yet, they are proud animals. 

Man is dust and clay; 
So, why carry yourself like a Demi god?
Man's wisdom wouldn't save him soonest
Why acquire them to destroy yourself. 

Yours Poetically,
