Man, The Ugly Beast
Given the power to build and create,
But in his own greed, makes value depreciate.
Like values of love, but instead he’d rather slaughter and hate.
Hearing the cry for help, he ignores and closes the gate.
Is this to be man’s destiny, is this to be his fate?
Destroying what he once believed,
If so, man is better dead and let no one be grieved.
For his passing would not have been in vain,
Better he dies than re-live Abel and Cain.
Brother against brother, will this be his feast?
If this is to be, then call man the ugly beast.
