We Are Humans

We Are Humans

AFTER MUCH PROMISES, SO MANY TRUST ON THEM 
WE MADE THEM WHO THEY ARE, THEY PROMISED TO BE LEADERS YET ENDED UP BEING RULERS
RELIABILITY BECAME LIABILITY. 

THE QUEST FOR MONEY BECAME HIGH
THE PRICE FOR IT BECAME TIGHT 
WEIRD BECAME THE LAND 
HUMANS BECAME PREY LEFT ALONE
TO FIGHT FOR LIFE, LIGHT, WATER, ROADS, 
SECURITY 
RELIABILITY BECAME LIABILITY. 

ROASTED SMELLS EVERYWHERE
ONE THINK ITS COW BARBECUE 
KILL OR BE KILLED 
WILD BECAME LEADERS 
HUMANS THE PREY
WE AREN'T PREY BUT HUMANS.

Excellent poem. .The only advice I can offer is to perhaps remove the "s" from "preys" as it may add more power to an already powerful verse. Either way, even if you choose not to, great piece of literature.?
