Misanthropic Anthropologist
The misanthropic anthropologist
Immersed in the human condition
Our inherent faults and tragic blessings
Destructive ambition
The sins we aren't confessing
What is our meaning
maybe it is to search for it
maybe it is to serve one greater
maybe it is to say maybe
maybe it is to be
i think therefore i am
that is all i really know
condenmed to freedom
to think whatever we want
believe in this, or disclaim that
question lonliness, while in introverted ponderings
the spawn of god, a mortal?
Will I live on in name
should I strive for eternity
in spite of my lease of life
Self aware of knowledge lacked
unable to answer the great unknown
I study this,
us...the bane of my sanity
because it is me, and i must
Im human
