WE ARE HUMANS
This life is definitely the best,
Every single soul in this life is a guest,
Unique in our ways to make sure we are better than the rest,
Faulty in different ways in terms of acting stubborn like a pest.
Created to give meaning to the world,
Intelligence capacity no other living organisms could afford,
Unpredictability stands aside as the best weapon on board,
Being too intelligent for one another is the reason we drag ourselves shamelessly through the mud.
Clever traits of a very aged tortoise,
No coordination to even unite with one voice,
Too much arrogance like a peacock with incoherent noise,
Hypocrisy of the highest level makes us so imperfect with no poise.
Greed is a rampant flaw among our existence,
Gluttony seasons it so good it becomes so intense,
The will to revel in being unpleasant becomes immense,
The ingenuity among us increases daily with no visible account of a comprehensive expense.
We like it when we are supreme,
Our thirst for more than we can chew further leads us to the extreme,
So impatient with life even when all opportunities seems so slim,
So sober when nemesis decides it's time to do justice with a very bright beam.
