Dust and Shadows



"Mankind is nought but dust and shadows",

An empty shell full of emotion and ideas.

Primal fear of one another,

and love that envelopes us all.

but fear, is the dominant one,

through famine, and murder,

a life of reckless mishaps.

"The rich get richer,

and the poor, poorer"

so the saying goes.

Calamity and strife,

the mother of all death.

Understatements of power and demeaning fights,

the moral of this world is in termoil.

The living are tyrants,

but the dead are at peace.

A new wave of killing each day,

for trivial matters, for the endurance of one.

"Mankinds is nought but Dust and shadows",

"From dust they came and to dust they will return",

a war between the same,

Brothers in a world of hate,

brothers in a world of injustice.

Killing those they love, by killing those they dont know.

Wars with Lords and rebels,

a never ending lesson,

where everyone loses.

We are nought but dust and shadows,

those words ring true in many ears,

for the fight will never end,

and the tears will never stop,

the death..... will forever be.
