What has man made of man?
How true, evinced the great poet.
Man- gifted with bounties
Yet unsatisfied;
With the -
Fire of greed
-Venom of pride
-Acid of Vengeance
-Scythe of selfishness
- Spear of exploitation
- Arrow of lust
- Dagger of deception
All lethal, born of one complex Inferiority,
Rampant goes he in deeds
Of devastation, demolition and degradation,
Submitting the soul to devil’s incantation.
Woe! O Man, to your kind
For axing the very roots, you stand on.
The roots of all our miseries are within all the vices, that we humans perpetuate and succumb to.
