NOTHING
BUT
Man is nothing, but an
idea
formed from another's dream.
Beginning a millionth of his birth size
shaped by parental expectations and gene pool.
His thoughts based on the impartial reality
of his own limited view.
Man is nothing but a mass of thoughts
extracted from experience,
shaped by people's reactions
and self-born pain and joy.
Man is nothing, but his own perception.
Yet, if truly man a mere shadow
of his almighty creator's plan
spreading hope, love, and charity.
Man is nothing, but the sum of his actions
