What man has become of a man
wonders me a lot and churns out weird thoughts.
Is man created to be of such nature
or have they turned themselves to who they are?

The desires are as vast as the oceans put together
and the ego as high as the sky itself.
The purpose of living has failed miserably
as life gets consumed by the fire of greed.

A man race against a man
living every moment in contentious mode.
Most often, they forget to breathe out of their life
and fail to embrace the joy of living.

A man lives in the world of ‘Myself’
and ignores the life of others.
For a man, everything is boastful about ‘Me’
and talk the least of others goodness.

They build their own kingdom
where the evils rule over the devils.
Their world is enveloped by the darkness
crafted by their own impure mind.

It is scary to fancy
what man has become of a man.
They feast on each other’s flesh and blood
calling an end to life with mindless thoughts.

A man works so hard to seize a man’s world
and fight till death, to secure his own kingdom.
Everywhere, tyranny dominantly plays the game
in the frame of man’s selfish minds.

A man must travel an eternal journey
to understand what man has become of a man.
It is a mystery in the history of humankind
Why man is created with such composition.
