Man-To-Man Poem by Barima Basoah

In the eyes of God is man,
created humans being by spirit.
in the eyes of gods are men,
instruments of service, offerings for sacrifice,
chosen people battling others as enemies.

Man in the eyes of man is:
nothing like dirt to sweep off;
something like commodity to make use of;
anything like opportunity to take advantage of;
everything like imagination to think of.
