This World Of Men
This World of men,
Pigskin manifesto,
Mutated apes spawned from a nest of steel,
Seeds of power growing death,
The beast within,
The steel trap grin,
Wrapped like hands,
Around mans neck,
Around mans breath,
Around mans death,
Sold are the batteries in the toy called boy,
Something inside caught the mirrors eye,
Something outside skinned the husk of pride,
The beast invented was never repented,
Enemy to I,
All fear is reflected,
Animal to I,
All dread is projected,
Human heroes born infected,
Walking time bombs fester the streets unsuspected,
This World of man,
Haunted homes in hollow heads,
Masking mans meal with a side of lies,
Pigs from zen,
This World of men.
About this poem
This is about the shadow, the archetypes, and the ego. This is about the human onion deconstructed . This is the dark potential that everyone owns, has, and must master to become complete.
