Humanity


sickly man walks so far

deadly man falls so fast

kingly man rises tall

guilty man hides so well

sickly woman covers up

deadly woman twists too far

queenly woman takes leaps and bounds

guilty woman makes no sound

sickly child softly cries 

deadly child brings on tears

princely child shines so bright

guilty child gives us sight

sickly humans still astound

deadly humans number high

royal humans still remain

guilty humans do not sustain

sickly, deadly, royal, guilty

world forever turning

earth and moon in outer space

land still green and blue

Nature and Humanity
