Rallying Call

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

It is our choice!

"

Rallying Call

Brake!

Brake I say.

Break the cycle

stop the rot.

Slow the pace.

Let love and respect

for humanity

be our guide.

No more media frenzied,

politically charged manipulation

of the masses.

No more 'fake' news.

No more scare mongering;

the tactics

of psychopathic manipulation

by android and Apple device

must end

if mankind is to maintain

the dignity of living.

And we must resist

the progress of this,

this brutal disease.

A disease more potent and destructive

than the sum of ebola, smallpox, aids

the flu and the plague.

We should stand together

against global commercialism,

the destruction of the ecosystem,

corporate and individual greed,

the fragmentation of societies,

the erasing of cultures

and the class and political

dominance of one by another

through war and attrition.

Lets do this!

You are so right....we need to band together and stop the insanity we are experiencing every day. The very core of humanity is being threatened. Lydi**

Thanks Lydi. If all like minded people banded together We could make a difference.
yes, all of these are more costly than war...yet right now we are in a war of a totally different kind...

and humanity is a mash unit trying to survive...
