A Human's Duty

How tragic can life be?
Love, death, war

I find no point in murder,
Everyone has their own time
Do we need to interfere?

I find love to be a farce
Why would something so sweet
Taste so bitter?

I find war to be pointless
It brings tears to many
Is pride so important?

Disease is a plague
The finishing blow from God
Are we meant to seek healing?

Despite all this
I find beauty in life
Is that mindset a mistake?

Sometimes I wonder
Why did God,
limit our time?

The world is so beautiful
Isn't it unfair to give us
So little time?

But humans are weak
Such weak creatures
They fall, break, and age

When I look back at history
Perhaps I understand
Why there is such limit

Humans could create
But along with "create"
Also comes "destroy"

They would create contraptions
That they would use to destroy
Where is the logic in that?

We should understand
That the duty given to us
Was to "create" and "protect"

It was not to "destroy"
It was not to "attack"
It was only to "share"

Wind Or Rock?

A wind calls out Beckoning the tree's Free as can be The rock; cold and hard: Yet has been so far; seen so much But unable to share Just left to despair Is it wrong.

We Are Such Things...

What stuff are creatures such as we made of If creatures such as we compose dreams. Those fickle, glittering beacons T'wards which we flit like moths between the stars, And which crumble at our touch.

Saviour

If I was mankind's saviour, disease would have no place. I would quickly eradicate cancer, and protect the human race. If I was mankind's saviour, I would see an end to war.
