vanity
and greed
are the things
that make man
feel immortal but
will surely lead him
to his untimely demise
because the moment that
we forget that we are nothing
more than mere specks of dust
far from ethereal, or valued
when we lose sight of
the bigger picture
and become so
focused on
details
is when
as mankind
we have
truly
lost
