SON OF ADAM

Today I am sharing a poem and recipes from my diary. The poem is about the cruelty of human being.
 
O' SON OF ADAM````
Is it necessary????
to make a rule over world,
you built a tower of skull
from the heads of your fellow being
yet you have to die too!!!
to whom this construction is????
oh son of Adam````
is it necessary????
to flow over the sea
you have shed the blood
red blood of innocent flowers of eve
yet you have to get off too!!!
to whom this streaming is???
oh son of Adam````
is it necessary????
to make the weapons
you cut the arms of your own body
yet you know the ages before you
were being operated by faith' hand
then why don't you stop this harmony, barbarism, torture, agony
yet you know that God is only power
and you are insects in front of him
oh son of Adam````
