VALUE OF MAN…?

Man did not make the mountain
he did not make the tree,
He did not make the frozen north
or the raging sea.
He did not make a single thing
for all was there before;
He exploited every one of them
that he could go to war.
He mates like every animal
and eats just like an ant,
Passes fluids and passes waste
and bleeds like a plant.
But still he thinks he’s special,
As he would forever decant.
