1980s the Start Of

In this day of corporate illusion One only the historic can counter, Soon one day the culture of delusion Will reign as all those whom encounter, When all passed away in resolution The problem written into the annals, While those that are left fed on pollution The results of educated finals. One's cultural genocide of blindness Simplicity with common sense destroyed, Yet the poet’s truth through untangled kindness Will live on in the heart of those deployed. Never in the history of mankind An era delivered been so refined. © Harry J Horsman 2012

I think some of us see through the culture of delusion Harry and yes, sadly the illusion will soon become reality. I too think there is genocide of the races if we don't quit this multi cultural thing. Each has so much to give, why do we all have to end up in one pot. You did a beautiful job on such a sensitive issue, as I see it anyway. Love, Elizabeth
