Ev'Rest Poem by Calico Jack

Ev'Rest

Rating: 4.8


Mighty Ev'rest looks out upon
The vastness of creation,
And on its surface treks with vigor
A minuscule abomination.

On this spectacle of nature,
Ascends the human tentacle.
Not knowing of its error dire,
nor its grand mistake so epochal.

That it is there does not entail
That it's there just to be conquered.
Just as the riches of the world,
were not made to be mongered.

Does this not sum up quite nicely,
All of humanity's pursuits?
The truth that fails to pierce the conscience,
That we're all but lowly bandicoots.

Hey, I hope the word badicoots was not directed at me. And what's wrong with a little mongering. Too tall, too tall, give me something smaller to climb. All kidding aside, great poem, with a sincere message. Good write.
