Humans and society



great men once said all below must fall into line ,
but men below were less inclined ,
they made up tales lies about all gods rage ,
and this set the stage for modern age,
so I ask you this are you satisfied with your life ,
whipped by policy and information given,
stricken by not the gods but another man ,
no bible scriptures or reading of quaran ,
no belief just another man,
wishing for days of old when men grew bold threw blood guts and gore ,
when paper money would’ve been laughed at the trading shores,
don’t you wish for that time so simple,
living always uncrippled for we are the birds but also the ants in the hill
we don’t realise this without strong wills our weak bodies seek the thrills ,
we destroy what we love for the betterment of us ,
yet we wonder why nature has no trust ,
society like this is no way to survive,
killing and raping and watching nature die,
they say the concrete jungle is big but the wood one is bigger ,
the concrete makes the wood sicker and sicker ,
so implore once more live life at peace with nature ,
you will sore to the mountain peaks of your mind and a land far deeper ,
no more depression ,
or society’s concrete oppression ,
you’ll know what it means to leave its recession,
to thrive with a older aggression .
