I can't describe with 90 words, but please tell me what you think.
Why was Man the chosen creature?

Are we truly divine in every feature?

Why should we rule the Earth

When all too often materials express our worth?

Were we truly the chosen ones

To conquer all beneath the sun?

Why are we

To master the sea,

To rule the sky

With proud dignity?

Why are we

To be leaders of the land?

Was this truly His will?

Was this truly His plan?

Do we possess a divine right

To be Lords of the animals,

Emperors day and night?

Is it the Hand

That creates this uprising?

Is our ability create

All too surprising?

For when God made each creature,

He gave each a Gift;

While to some he gave strength,

And made others swift,

He gave Man a truly noble ability.

The Gift of Creation,

To be used with care.

But with each creation,

Two-fold destruction is heir’d.

Now we go past limitations

That He wish remains;

We cross good and evil

And break from our chains.

Like wild beasts,

We thirst for power.

Like overlords

We rise like great towers.

Was this truly all in God's eyes,

Or have we evolved into a creature of lies?
