Man's Accomplishments

A vast labyrinth of asphalt that covers the landscape,
An uprising of concrete, glass, and steel that conquers the horizon,
A system of synthetic lights that outshine the stars.
These are the accomplishments of the infrastructure of man.

A hypocritical system that tells us to do the opposite that it teaches us,
A world that is run by money,
A place that is torn apart by demographics.
These are the accomplishments of the society of man.

A class that forces you to memorize instead of learn,
A school that doesn’t care about what the students want,
A student that learns all that matters in his future is his financial well-being.
These are the accomplishments of the education of man.

A species that destroys countless other species’ homes to make room for his own,
An animal that breeds and kills other animals for mass production of food,
An organism that is the self-proclaimed ruler over all other organisms.
These are the accomplishments of the survival of man.

These are the accomplishments of man.
