Flesh and Bone
He was human
Very much so
He strived for perfection
He lived for materials
He lived for acceptance
He knew not of truth
He only knew what was taught
He only knew wanting
Craving companionship
Craving wealth
Craving knowledge
But knowing of nothing
He wanted comfort
He wanted safety
He wanted a shoulder to lean on
And he wanted fame
He wanted praise
He wanted superiority
He only knew what he was taught
He only knew what was expected
He was not the only one
He was human
He was so very human
He lived like he was told
He lived like humans do
He wanted to be a god
When truly
He was just a lone fool of flesh and bone
Who did nothing but live to die
