Story of homo sapient
He was trudging the mountains
Drinking from the streams
Plucking the fruits
Hunting the games
He marveled at the stars
Craved for the security
And lived in small bands
His brain was big
Learnt to find answers
Reached the mars
Mapping the genes
Found the address
Of that early man
His confidence knew no bounds
Until one day
He learnt five elements
Are not in peace with him
He had a simple answer
Meet his ego
Map the emotions
And cauterize some
A man
Who could rise from nowhere
Couldn’t keep good
And throw the detrimental.
