Composed in March 1997 from 'Sketches of a Mortal Life and Other Poems' by Chester Cabalza

You were created in God's image and likeness,
     But out of your pride, you heed to serpent's weakness.
You subdue the richness of the world,
     And being a hungry-tyrant, you raise a sword.
You want your race to be superhuman,
     Until you defy the Creator of humans.
You explore the outer space,
     But the abyss admonished your pace.
You launch compacted and exploding powder,
     So you may become a superpower.
You annoy nature's course,
     And nature's vengeance took the force.
You know greed desires satisfy worldly possibilities,
     But the Creator razes wicked men with no impossibilities.
You are made of dust,
     And you'll be returning unto dust.
