THE FOOLISH SAGE

The Foolish sage

A sage once said that

Human are cruel

That we kill for pleasure And not to survive

He said that we are greedy

That we take more than what we need

 

The wise man said

Human are selfish

And we want to everything we see

Even if it means shedding the life of the red flowers

He said we are bruted

We turn the sun to reddish orange

Just to prove we are right

He said we inflict pain for entertainment

Like the gladiator  blood is our drink

It is what quench our thirst

He said we are slaves that enslaves his own

 

He called human  a patriot that prioritize his country rather universal brotherhood.

He said we are foolish  

That we can not  learn to make the land dance in green grasses

He said we shook ourselves in the blood of our enemies  because they did not say  yes to our dressing

 

But a still silent voice from the woods replied saying

You foolish sage

Humanity is rising up

Like the rising of the sun

A new day's dawn

You can't see it

Because your hatred for its growth has made you blind

Humans sell their sweat to bring sunshine  to those in the rain

To bring the dark to the light.

We are your suppose “lowest animal”

But we are God’s most advanced creation

We are the only creature that could reason in all season

Human  are the best

So rest your case Mr twain
