Masters of the universe?

Greater than nature we pretend to be

No idea if we create, monsters or god

In front of a mirror we revel in our own vanity

Arrogance's bait becomes a fool's facade

Broken puzzle parts we piece together

making a gown to cover ignorance's nakedness

A blind tailor sewing a suit of frog hair and leather

in dreams from which nothing will awaken us

Three breasted chickens, chocolate udders on a cow

dig holes in earth's skin, paint the sky brown

breed boneless fish, a cholesterol free sow

mercurial paint makes a smile out of a frown

Searching for a black hole with dime store glasses

a diaper holding our used up mistakes

changed daily we sit with red asses

knowing faith or knowledge both are fakes

The vanity of human beings leads them to be opinionated and filled with their own importance. We pretend to be greater than nature, but that is a very foolish notion indeed.
I love the second verse and how leader's ignorance is so poetically expressed, Soren.
Modifying food and nature is quite a risk, but in our world today nothing is naturally fresh. Even fruit which should be eaten fresh has preservatives within it, as has bread, milk, and you name it, most likely it also has preservatives in it.
The blindness of humanity in Stanza 3 really hits home, Soren.
A superbly penned metaphoric gem! A very gripping write which won't allow the reader to leave the poem until it has been thoroughly read. Great write, dear friend. Thank you for sharing...

Most welcome always, dear Soren. Please forgive my absence. I have been very unwell with a virus which really knocked me out. I didn't have Covid, the doctor said there are so many virus' going around at the moment and their origin or anything about them is unknown. He gave me antibiotics for my throat, but there was nothing else, apart from Paracetamol, he that he gave me. Thought I was finished, lol... But, you know they say you can't kill a bad thing and here I am again. Wishing you a very nice evening, my friend...

Hope you are feeling better

Thank you for your very kind message, dear Soren. Another day or two and I should be back to myself again. Bless you, my friend...
