Looking out over your city At what you claim to be your creation Towering structures dotting the skyline Housing achievements Great feats of science and technology And it becomes obvious Where the arrogance             the over inflated sense of self             feelings of invincibility emerges from Forgetting that the achievements             defined as your creations  Are merely your limited understandings Of the infinite knowledge within the universe   It might deflate the ego Should I remind you That besides your glory You are still only human One who still agonizes over spurn love Succumb to the calls and dictates Of emotions, passions and desires Seeking to enjoy the comforts of life’s beauties Cringing at the prospect of dying In essence ruled by what binds us One to the other as human beings   So I understand why you Relish in these accomplishments Pretending God’s blessing upon you Is of your own doing Not to be shared with mankind Not wanting to acknowledge That the knowledge you lay claim to Is nothing new to the universe That you are only now learning And using a little of the infinite wisdom   Now it’s weapon of mass destruction To instill fear and maintain illusions Supporting lies and misconceptions Wanting to erect concepts of invincibility Through your inventions Not wanting to accept your mortality Ever pushing the limits Breaking down the moral principles Trying to fool yourselves into believing That it begins and ends with you When in truth        You are just on a journey through earth   [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
