Mankind in all his glory.


Human Nature


A husk to a fruitful life
  Mankind has thus become
He is dynamic shells
  That hide the crinkled pea
But run a human race

Shuffle and take a guess

What is thought as right
  Be misplaced of wrong
Resulting exultations
  Rise to jubilation
And garner in a medal

Shuffle and now know

As pages put upon a breeze
  Are kindly remnants caught
Unconcerned and carried off
  For goodness is become
A candle in the sun
