The nature of mankind

Gilliand Obial 2003 (CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, MISAMIS ORIENTAL)



The sky is muddy, the storm is brewing
The peace never last
For everything-
Will eventually turn into dust

The king of the jungle and desserts
The king of the air and oceans
A tittle bestowed by mankinds
Species that mankind will destroy

A cycle that is repeated through time
A cycle where no one knows when it comes
Forgotten and buried in sands
Shall rise and make everyone dread inside

A cataclysmic shall be the end
A cataclysmic will be the new beginning
All dead will not be remembered
And the living needs to live

Change is inevitable
To stay or to leave is the only choice
For a hopeless world is all we have
To help or destroy is all we execute
