Man: A Universal Fool

Can answer to none,
Stands naked facing himself,
Stands by no one else,
Tale narrates man as a fool.

Always moving on the path
Of self-destruction and rot,
With hard fingers and a harsh heart,
A dark flash of hate and gluttony.

Toppling every indication of humanity,
Dreaming of inaccessible goals,
He axes down his own feet,
Wishing his own salvation.

Inanely tearing down everything,
And breathing in a barren wasteland,
And the polluted and infected world,
Where once gods and angels walked.

Huge edifices of unholy wealth,
Swayed over bankrupt hope,
Breathes trampled under the power of
A stubborn compulsive ringmaster.

Demolishes all that is gorgeous and true,
To claims fool’s fraction,
He has sneaked into a fool’s universe,
He cosies among us all.
