Poetry Day #10

 

 

I get so lost sometimes

watching as the world burns,

as centuries of Culture and

Heritage, human lives, are destroyed

for no reason other than who

will be number one among

the billions.

 

Our world burns,

it cries for our help, our decision

to act and honor what remains

of humanity’s decency, to cast

out the illusion we can bring

back what was already a destructive

horror, just with a nicer veneer.

 

Day #10 of Poetry Month arrives

as humanity rushes toward oblivion.

[John Sullivan]

Exactly right. John Lennon, maybe my least favorite Beatle, once said something to the effect of: We are governed by insane people, to insane ends, for insane reasons. He was all too right. Nothing has changed.
