a poem if anything

Book Summary by: jrcomrie     

Original Author: James Comrie
This abstract was translated from eher ein gedicht
It is Man.
War only exists because Man wishes to possess everything.
Manis a disease, which
will never stay still.
Man is influenced by all the hate in the world.
Man would do anything for money.
A quarter of mankind are affected by illness.
They will shortly die.
What will become of us in the future?
Perhaps we shouldn't think about that at all,
for war and hate will contintue to exist,
and will never come to an end....
It is man who ruins and destroys everything.
It is man who believes the world belongs to him.
It is man who shocks and outrages the world.
Mankind are a soulless disease.
Animals are the creatures, who know what it means to live.
Unfortunately there are too few of us who strive to do so.
Animals would never take life senselessly.
With them it is simply about survival.
