What is a man, who is not himself when he fights with his sword?

What is a man, if he keeps not himself, to his own word?

What is a man who gives him not to the need of his friend?

What is a man who gives himself up, even before the end?

What is a man if he gives not his own, but lives off another's part?

What is a man, who judges with the eyes, and not with his heart?

The author's comments:
What has the world become? What has The Modern Man become? A vile, killer, a follower of vice, a lier, an egotist, a superficial monster feeding on pleasure and wrong...evil exists in all of us, and we must control it, if not eradicate it with the help of God's love and faith. Let us all grace the fact that we are God's most beautiful creations, and together, make our world a better place.
