Bonkers goes man as he covets land, lives and limelight.
An infinitesimal speck not knowing its rightful place.
Greed urging usurpation of everything within sight.
Sacrificing altruism at the altar of disgrace.
Killing, maiming and hunting his way through
Blinded by the lure of desire.
Indifferent to what’s ephemeral & true.
Setting morals afire
