So, where is the world now, and where is it going? I wrote a similar poem 4 years ago. Has anything improved?
Evolution stalled
As an outsider, observing the human
race is pain,
watching how they don’t advance
again and again,
hoping for improvement in
everything they do,
admiring new trends that they
gradually accrue.
The way they race forward ignoring
history,
repeating mistakes a confusing
mystery,
plunging the race into familiar
conflicts,
after years spent developing peaceful
constructs.
Opening hearts to the plight of
less fortunates,
while rewarding the rich with golden
coronets,
removing rules for public safety,
while claiming interest in all
humanity.
Creating collectives like NATO and
G7,
to discuss security and fiscal
heaven,
when really the welfare of the
millions of many,
is of little concern to the rulers’
activity.
Global warming, inflation, war in Iran/Ukraine,
issues to test the sharpest brain,
yet saddled with the wit of a presidential
mouse,
who wants a ballroom in the White
House.
Evolution of species is
inextricably linked,
to whether they continue or become
extinct,
judging by the quality of
international leaders,
we are about to devolve to bottom
feeders.
