Man evolved into brilliance and eminence

Change what more with Conflicts! (here)

Let there be light
day and nights
Let the waters gather
and dry land appear
Let there be living creatures
and man rule over on earth.

Thus the soil was tended for sustenance
Man evolved into brilliance and eminence
But man staked a claim
and stamped his mark with his name

Borders were created greed appeared
Erupting in disputes and conflicts ensued
Misguided leaders bent on killings
and accentuating pain and sufferings

Might was right on human conscience a blight
Shouts of sacrilege heard against those privileged
Man had gone insane and it never seemed the same, again

  7. Humans have always been nuts, they just got better at hiding it these days. Might always makes right it seems.

  8. Man staking his claim and stamping his mark with his name, says it all. What will it take to acknowledge that it is and never was all about us?

  14. Sadly, man, the crown of creation, fell into sin which produced a blight on the garden. We need to be better stewards.
