Mankind seeks shelter from all of life's storms
so brick by brick he gathers builds and forms
constructing walls that are architecturally sound
that no elements would dare tear down
but at man's hands there are things unseen
his plans can parch and crumble like dry leaves
for faulty parts neglect and loose wires
can create a spark and then build a fire
tearing down all that man once built up
leaving only remnants of hope in the dust
but man's imperfections have an ideal plan
for no force can abolish the resilience of man.
