Cruel Sons

Nature is not cruel

As most think.

In reality,

Her sons are the ones

Who cause our woes.

Disease and Time

Ware men down

So the eldest, Death

May easily take them.

Fear removes man's walls

That keep out Hatred and Anger.

They make one's heart

Cold and black

And then burn the people around them

Envy, Greed, and Grief

Twist men's minds

And shape them to their will;

Then let them run free

Pain the cruelest of Nature's sons

Distorts all aspects of man's being.

Pain can make one beg his siblings

To steal him away.
