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
