Man The Destroyer Poem by ENOCH JOHN

This cosmos doth surely come to a halt,
Bringing an end to man's determined effort
To do everything, and achieve little,
In his quest for supremacy and power.

And his greed for wealth and
His thirst for fame and glory.
Yes, man in his contumacious self
Has brought the human race to the brink
Of disaster and poverty.........utter hopelessness!

With all his knowledge of
......................philosophy and medicine, astroligical data
and high-tech computers,
religion and various brands of politics.

His assiduous search, and hunger,
For the attainment of heights of grandeur
And achievements, have robbed him blind,
Of his understanding of nature and his
True purpose upon this unique planet.

Instead, he has depleted the ozone layer
And cast various pollutants upon the earth.
He has become a scourge to himself and his ''brother''.
Yes, man with his great knowledge and lack of wisdom
Has already destroyed himself.

Atomic mis-creations and Hiroshima's instant decline
Have only been catalytic in man's carnal rampage,
To bring an end to order by creating disorder,
Nation against Nation, just as the Holy Writ foretold.
