Modern Man
August 29th 2010 02:03
The making of fire
continually frustrates him.
The absence of electricity
terrifies him.
A lack of technological gadgets
unsettles him.
Those who do not need them
wear his contempt.
All the mysteries of nature
oppose him,
will not open ways to him,
She will not recieve him,
she will chew him up
all his fears will be realized
in her darkened maw.
Caged in concrete
he builds his fortress
believing he keeps her at bay...
His body is ever at her will
one day it will decay,
no matter what trinkets he wears,
about and under his skin,
there is no escape.
This frustrated, frightened man,
so rarely ever content,
(They say, I am supposed to call him brother!)
this man,
he is the modern man.
