How Man Uses Hands
Man uses eyes to see
Man uses ears to hear
Man uses all the other body parts for much more
Man would not be remembered if it weren’t for hands
Man uses hands to be remembered
Man uses hands to type, draw, paint, sculpt
Man uses hands to write
I use my hands to write
I write for myself
I write for my enjoyment
Man was offered the gift of writing
This beautiful element of life is fading
Generations continue and Man is changing
The system corrupted
Children thought that writing could not be trusted
Teachers gave assignments with writing
Every children replied with a groan
My teacher says “essay” and I hear cries from the children
My teacher says 250 words and they swear it’s a million
Some kids stay quiet while they imprison their excitement
No one knows about their work, they have tons
Those kids are the lucky ones
They did not get possessed
We were given a gift
We gave it right back
Man is not simple
Man has attacked
Man started war against the asset
The world is contaminated with the bad thoughts of writing
How can Man be so shallow and cold
We were given a gift that we could not hold
Man needs a light to help see the gift and it’s beauty
I will help Man, it is my duty
I have not written anything to make the people remember
all I need on a stranded island is a pen and paper
