The Thousand Year Old Question


Sovereignty Illuminate Affection Serviceable The attraction of the world is within mankind Malevolent Resentfulness Hate Man appears truculent in the face of disgrace But are we really so bad On our scale gold and coal balance each other out A little here and a little there can determine what your all about Is there more pro's of gold or con's of coal Sitting back watching the scale tip side to side You wonder is man good or bad?
