Man
He is proud.
He… he is noble. He is strong,
and he is… in God’s image. Man is the
most loved and the most hated of all creatures.
He protects, he loves, he creates, and he destroys. Man is father. He is husband. Man is servant, and man is the conqueror. Man is the provider, and he is the
abuser. He is the artist, and he is the
arsonist. Man is gardener - the
nurseryman. He plants the flower and
rapes the Earth. He saves the willing,
overpowers the weak, and obliterates the obstacle.
Man is the poet, the musician, the scientist,
and the mathematician. He is also
blasphemous, obnoxious, ignorant, and painfully predictive. He is the conformist, and he is the renegade. He is the social elite, and he is the
psychopath. He is the giver of life, the
champion of liberty, and the keeper of happiness. He is also the bearer of death, the master of
slavery, and the creator of horror.
Man! He harbors everything that
man fears, controls all that man desires, and, unfortunately, is the only thing
this universe has to offer a woman on a cold, stormy night.
