The Essence of Man

What truly is the essence of man?
What does man stand for if he can?
Is there a plan put in mans life?
Is there a meaning behind all the strife?
It all starts within mans heart
Were not talking about that pumping part
But that place where man truly feels
As man determines just whats real
But all his determinations are based on a lie
As they are fed by the EGO which just wont fly
Leading him to chase after every desire
Robbing him of a chance to truly rise higher
If man could only see Nature as the source
Its opposite of mans ego Its a bestowing force
Then there is a chance to rise
Above mans essence to be at Natures side
Receiving only in order to give
With no thought of self, thats when man starts to live
But if man stays hidden in the shadows
Then nature will continue to shoot her loving arrows
Pushing man onto his knees
Until man humbles himself and cries out PLEASE
Save me from all of this pain
and Unite me with you once again
Only together
