Man Always Forgets

Like a crushing stone
Ripples the surface
Of a silent water pond

Like burning flames
Caress the skin
Of those who spend eternity
In their own imaginary hell

Like roses perish
And perpetually fall
From time in constant motion

Man always forgets,
That it is governed and separated,
By the same axioms that separate the weak form the strong

The capable from the incompetent
The ingenious from the dumb
The brilliant from the foolish

This certitude never dies
This certitude never beckons
But forever lives on

That is the law of Nature
Everything lives by this rule and dies by this rule
Mankind is no exception
The only exception is that Mankind believes to be beyond this rule of natural selection
And which ultimately will lead to mankind's inevitable self-destruction

Like blood streams
From an open wrist
Of the resolute and suicidal

Like gleaming stars
Twinkle at dusk
To silently dim and forever expire

Like rain falls
From a clouded sky
Ending the drought and the thirst below

Man always forgets
That it is governed and separated
By the same axioms that separate the weak form the strong

The capable from the incompetent
The ingenious from the dumb
The brilliant from the foolish

This certitude never dies
This certitude never beckons
But forever lives on
