The cursed gift

The greatest gift granted to a man is life
The greatest victory granted to a man is death
For man hard work, the greatest reward granted to a man is love
And yet a Man greatest curse is his own heart
A man greatest prison is his own mind
For in life man finds hell
But in death man finds freedom
In love man begins to understand true joy and happiness
And in his heart man finds greed
For in his mind a man will always remember his pain and his failure
A man greatest lesson is his own mistakes
Man are granted conscience
But in conscience man discovered fear
Man are granted two hands to craft
But in free will man choose to destroy
With tongues that can move mountains, heal the sick
A man learnt to lie and curse
With eyes like wild fire to see the beauty of the world
Man saw only his nakedness shame
Given Earth as his home
He burnt it down as if not their own
