Save Mankind

Man seeks a savior

He goes about it using it vigor

He is aware of the rigor

Man looks at the environment

He figures the movement

He ensures it will last all moments

But:

Man discovers he’s wrong

He thinks of the way out through his song

He works out his strong

Man searches for riches

He goes all out for the fishes

He thinks that they will meet his very wishes

But:

Man is dissatisfied

He is worried he is not gratified

He believes his agenda will be clarified.

Man goes after wellness

He seeks to work its happiness

He feels that’s his essence

But:

Man realizes he’s in a vicious circle

He devises the way-out of the ridicule

He’s certain his IQ would bring the driving vehicle

Man seeks a life companion

He searches in passion

He’s sure this won’t take him to oblivion

But:

Man is failing over a time-a hundredth

He sees himself being swallowed up by the earth

He makes his priority death

This time…

Man seeks his kind

He engages with a tough find

He succeeds on the note: “Save Mankind”
