As philosophers expound
And wise men preach
Man-made laws by experiments drawn
Man does breach
What they teach
By relegating brain for the use of brawn
Aping the rage
Of the modern age
Man forgets his aim in life
By ways crude
He does denude
The world, of shame –
And causes strife
Let us vow
To reach the shore
Before the boat
Can capsize
Using our brain
To our own gain
Let us, for once
Be sane and wise.

Who's wisdom?
well then, good thing
girls can set us feeble men straight
and rid the world of all evil, overnight
since, all blame is pre-assigned
to 'man'
lol
yeah, ok
forgive me if i choose to believe
the warrior queen's in my life
and heroin's of history, who chose
to not hide behind that
oh so convenient victimhood
status
as their crutch, in life....
good morning
obviously 'man' means mankind in general - so you can cast aside your fears - we are not going to hide behind anybody - but are prepared to wage our battles side by side against cruelty and violence of any kind
have a great weekend..take care
