What Man Has Made of Man

What man has made of man,
Is the weeping snow reviling it’s pompous cry,
What man has made of man,
Is the unwanted dandelion left for wishes to die.

You see now, what man has made of man
Is not what God wanted,
For our souls have absconded,
To be forever daunted.

Silly you not rectified!
Those rose colored glasses won't last forever,
And for us who access our beautiful, hoodwinked temptation,
We remain fated to see salvation never.

In this case of reality on the precipice
The money in your hand weighs nothing.
For you'd think what man has made of man,
Should be worth something.

My own personal value of life has grown tremendously through time. I am only 14 years of age and clearly see so many things wrong with society today. I write purposefully to make people feel, I certainly hope that's exactly what this poem will do.
