The greatness of man


The greatness of man.
How do I write about the facts of a man,
the greatness of adventure, inventiveness and war?

Triumphant poses, regal stance –

No amount of statues, paintings and sculptures of bronze.
No amount of mausoleums, wondrous parks of play,
buildings lit for all to see those names
meant for the ages and of course public display.
No amount of heroes triumphant at battle plays.
No amount of fairness when greed is his to portray.

How do I define this gentleman of greed, property and wealth –
lands of plenty while the rest of humanity lives in poverty
and bleeds?

The ancients decry –

No more you foolish mental madman at play.
