Our Greastest PinnacleA Poem by Alastaira poem of man's achievements
I walked through the cities of the damned
Seen the destruction man placed on earth I have witnessed the cannibalism Of these men who don’t eat human flesh And the sad thing is it doesn’t sicken me I merely laugh at the cruelties of the world For I know the bounds of their destiny No, their fate I have seen the horrors of this world As men will be glad to HELP kick you, when you’re down The poor hating themselves and the rich hating the poor The bliss on my face watching as they cry The question of truth is of man. Is he deserving as he thinks? Killing, stealing, corrupting, manipulating And half of us are seeing shrinks You do have the few who try to clean up This wicked, dirty, corrupted world But mostly all fail with little honor Being tempted by the glory of valuables Man is a conniving, pathetic excuse Of a higher species yet we’re the least respectable As we have done things so horrible Animals wouldn’t repeat it And that’s our greatest pinnacle in life © 2010 Alastair |
