Our Insane Times

Not even wanting to look

Seemingly little hope for the future from lessons of the past,

because the world's not looking, and I watch, totally 

aghast.

See us struggling, and headed for the same brick wall

that will break us, no heeding the warnings, none at 

all.

We'd better turn back, before we pay the same price,

we're not even thinking once, let alone thinking 

twice.

History is a teacher, but if her lesson goes unseen

by blinded fools--you can't figure out what they mean,

if your too busy looking elsewhere, like in the mirror,

admiring yourself.
