TOO MEEK THOUGH HUGE

TOO MEEK THOUGH HUGE
Where are we heading for with this progress?
The kings could kill and give dear lives to men.
With feudal lords, they could possess the land
and all the people with their planted grains_
they ploughed and watered, yet they starved to death.

They fought and raved to reach their rights to live.
A lot of heads were kicked like balls on fields
till men could find the spark that lit their way
and that gunpowder of the freedom day.

Democracy was gained, but tricks were born,
and science came to light what can destroy
the whole earth with the genes that could bring men
and send them where the dinosaurs were sent.

Poor dinosaurs, you were too meek though huge.
Your earth was wrecked when your space was in rage,
but though man is too small in size, he can
destroy his earth with his dark fumes and shells.
