Mankind Never Learn
Mankind never learn lessons
a pot of dazzling blinding fire
was thrown in Pearl Harbor
Souls wept to merciful God
But He never came on time
Another pot of mushroom hell
was dropped in Hiroshima
time was too thin to call God
skeletons run up and down
for shelter that never existed
stinging bees dwelling in barrels
pumpkins full of angry hot lava
kites with hot charcoal in buttocks
sharks carrying death and men in oceans
make mankind to regret being human
A mad professor will again rise
invoked by the intoxicated powerful
to give birth to hell of hells; this time
not for Pearl Harbor, or Hiroshima
the visitor shall be at every door
Surely God will be there in His seat
waiting for souls of roasted mankind
to report at his judgment desk and pass
another roasting sentence; then reward
the victimized by those who never learn
