Analysis of Homosapien

R J Barry 1969 (UK)



Homosapien a social creature or so we're led to believe. His interaction with his fellow man is for exploitation and for greed. To run back to his Ivory tower with walls that's girdle round. With twice five miles of green and fertile ground.

We teach our children from an early age of the great wonder of religion. Wether it be fact or fiction but man he doesn't listen. Just small tokens and gestures to justify his position.

I once asked the purpose of man upon the land. Too torment his fellow man came the stark reply. Man's inability to respect his fellow man and treat him as an equal. Is the folly of his demise and is by decree.
