Have you ever paused to think of that creature called man?
Have you ever posed to link up with wisdom of Solomon?
Have you ever paused to recognize an idea so uncommon?
Have you felt the need to sometimes sail: on and on and on?
Take this ride with me as we discover the human beast
Who sees himself as though a prince on a jolly daily feast
Who feels no frill to savour the weaklings; to quench his thirst
He is a vampire; with a demonic heart obsessed with selfish quest
You could see him smiling at you: but never deep down
You could see him shining so cool; but he wish you go to drawn
You could see him living with you; but his wish is you leave town
You could see him admiring you; but his wish is you frown
He is a beast called man; who knows not how to tame his flame
He is a beast called man; who knows not he is not but to blame
He is a beast called man; who knows not all humanity is the same
He is a beast called man; who knows not that trust is not a game
I stood still to recall visionary greatness of legends in the days of yore
Who traversed global climes leaving behind timeless inspirational awe
I feel a spasm of tears flowing through my heart; as I recall the masses we owe
I know someday the beasts amongst us will melt in molten volcanic ore
But before the judgment day may we cleanse the beast in all of us
So much so that our greed pours out from our hearts and body pus
May we be cleansed so much so we sing songs as children in school bus
May we be cleansed with remorseful fears as though facing a galloping horse
As I reminisce the beauty of this universe I feel the fact that hope is not lost
Only but I tremble when I recall the vastness of our selfish lust
This has made us bundled, and doomed to a priceless cost
The time is so apt and ripe to eject the devil from being our host
I reclined on a cliff as I took a ride on the majestic wings of the Almighty
I looked at the vastness of this earth and felt awe on its beauty
I can’t help but shiver on the power of HIS heavenly majesty
I now have to urge you to kill the beast in you to douse the devils fantasy
