"Man"

Man is a great creation,
Bestowed with the gift of a great mind,
Given privilege of being God's likeness,
He has walked the Earth,
Dominant among others,
Throughout the years he had carried this fate,
But these gifts carries a curse,
The curse of "free-will",
For a long time,
Man's decisions turned outrageous,
Paving way to his greed,
His greeds thus turned into anger,
And anger ultimately leads to destruction,
It is man's common habit,
To kill each other for their own self-benefits,
Their lust for things eventually corrupted the world,
But it was nature that ultimately paid the price,
Devastated by man's actions,
When will man ever learn,
To wisely use his gifts?
Perhaps only God may truly know,
The purpose of man's presence,
He is fantastic yet destructive,
