Underneath the surface

[randomwriter99]

I'm the random writer, i write randomly. I Hope you like it:

there's something beneath the surface
Of every mans trial and pain
It only serves to strengthen
Belief it's not in vain.

For man is brief and careless
His choices they erupt
In ruin, war and hunger
That threaten to corrupt.

But underneath the surface
A face is clearly seen
Reflecting pain and anger
Of every man between.

yet man is torn and rended
by distrust, fear and strife
why cant he see his equal
when he's so much alike.

Yet man avoids the truth
he hides behind the known
For fear of hurt and danger
Ignoring what is shown.

Underneath the surface
Behind the cruel facade
Is hope, and want and friendship
Which man himself has barred.

Look beyond, around and inward
Any are of service
Truth isn't found above
But underneath the surface.

My favorite style. Short quatrains, with a natural rhythm and meter. I wrote one of my favorites called "The Grey" using this style.
