What is man?

Man is brave, man is strong,
man thinks more, men aren’t wrong.
Jack of all trades… master of none.
We own the woods, we've mastered the seas
bushes are silent so are the trees.
Democratic dictator number one.
Wrapped in metal, plastic and gold
quick like rabbits pernicious like mould.
A terrific home run.
Nature is captivating, Nature is angelic,
sweet like sugar, an eternal relic.
Home of beasts and the sapien disease.
The ocean a baby blue, turning brown,
Birds chirp at rise, over the new town.
Gifting echoing noise… they can't hear us wheeze.
Trees are hundreds of feet tall,
the inflexible saw makes them small.
Smaller forests only to appease.
A pernicious dictatorial master and
the sickened silent servant.
