Tragedy of Man
All the subtle poking and trying
Only helps swell up the underlying
A jibe here and there every opportune while
Ambush and surprise in style
A fight whose medium blows can be felt
Escalating to hit below the belt
If the best man at his best aims to win
The most savage will be savage in his means
And the one who steers from suffering loss
Is the one who puts his point across
Since a man's power defies measuring
But he cannot avoid gloating and posturing
Then the battle of egos becomes the scale
Some how much damage they leave in their trail
Others in witty games of the mind
Others amassing anything and everything they find
Charting a way forward to a future we do not know
Only to be baffled when its mystery shows
Don't be a man in your carnal appetite and instinct
Trust in God who makes men as gods distinct.
K. Muitherero.
