Chris Jibero - Man Heal Yourself

Man, oh man <br />earth’s steward <br />heal yourself <br />of your protracted insanity <br />spruced with profanity <br />in your daily battles <br />to attain some vain height <br />which you set <br />and desire inordinately <br />to satisfy just yourself and only yours <br />by hunting your kind viciously <br />preying them mendaciously <br />unlike other mortals <br />your ready-made quarries <br />which you serve dutifully <br />to your insatiable master <br />a hideous ogre <br />that turns at will <br />to take, tear and guzzle you merrily <br />with no appreciation to show <br /> for your unsolicited gestures <br />for you tend to forget <br />that every predator is a prey <br />somehow and someday.<br /><br />Chris Jibero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/man-heal-yourself/
