Of Man
by Stuart Reedy
(06-10-1996)

And from the earth came man

Of dirt and dust and sand
From these beginnings
He has not gotten far

Instead, the fool, no more than dust
Lusts for what he does not need
And finds happiness in nothing
And no true satisfaction

While all around him
Is what he does not know
But truly most desires
