To Humankind


Too reliant is humankind upon the salary. No longer can be seen the sincere modesty that once, prevailed. To lead a peaceful life without worries has long been forgotten. Toil on day after day to secure. Losing those days, and our own selves in the process. To live a simple life alongside Earth is a defunct being. To sustain on pure beauty and labour. Cherishing these days, and uniting with nature. Nature has been replaced with greed and selfish desire. Money is the driving force for all of humanity, Tearing us away from our original source. Too reliant is humankind upon the salary. No longer can be seen the sincere modesty that once, prevailed.
