MAN (4)
Man.
The earth's center of nature's attraction,
Of life an active participant,
Once driven out of Eden,
Cursed and sanctioned.
Once granted a pardon
And back to paradise he returned,
But the beat in there had changed,
Every good thing now he struggles to achieve.
Man.
In the likeness of Him he hath created,
But enemy of himself he is,
A hypocritical owl,
He lacks the patience
To await his own time.
He seeks what is not lost - seeks and seeks
Until his doom he personally designs
And wakes up a sleeping dog
To behold his own peril.
The earth's center of nature's attraction,
Of life an active participant,
Once driven out of Eden,
Cursed and sanctioned.
Once granted a pardon
And back to paradise he returned,
But the beat in there had changed,
Every good thing now he struggles to achieve.
Man.
In the likeness of Him he hath created,
But enemy of himself he is,
A hypocritical owl,
He lacks the patience
To await his own time.
He seeks what is not lost - seeks and seeks
Until his doom he personally designs
And wakes up a sleeping dog
To behold his own peril.
