The Contradiction of Man

By SlimShdy32

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

They say a man leads a quiet life of desperation I speak aloud and am optimistic for each new day Man is his own worst enemy The hate that lingers for myself exists only in small fashion Man is exalted by his words Exalt me Man in society is determined by how much a man makes Everyone is rich in his own way Man is determined by the color of his skin I must be color-blind Man sees all others as inferior Cheetahs run 70 miles per hour and bats can fly and hunt with poor vision Man measures another man by his physical strength I personally would rather be Bill Gates than Stone Cold Steve Austin Go figure…i am curious to see what u think...this may come off as awkward or confusing to some...
