Man sits in awe
Of himself
Marveling
At his intelligence
He questions his questions
Answers
With more questions
Only those that confuse him more than the first
Are worthy
Man sits in awe
Of himself
Marveling
At his creativity
He builds buildings
That remain ageless like the mountains
Forgetting they are there
Giving them to nature
Only to find them again
After trying to bring
Nature into submission
Man sits in awe
Of himself
Marveling
At his compassion
He realizes that he could
If he so chose
Destroy the world
Thousands of times over
In the name of peace
Man stands ashamed
Of himself
He becomes conscious
His knowledge was idiocy
His production were re
His definition of peace was defined by the absence of war
When Man became humble
He knew
One thing
