The Evolution of Learning (Part One)

It amazes me how much man has evolved Yet, How little he has learned All around the globe Millions die of disease and starvation While the ever so intelligent creature known as man Spends millions upon millions of dollars every single day Killing each other Instead of finding cures for the ill or feeding starving children Oh sure, we dabble in those efforts But we are committed to killing each other Governments all around the globe Spend most of their money On their armies Either to defend or attack Their enemies Supposedly, the most intelligent creature on earth The intellectual creature known as man If I may go so far Mans commitment to war and killing Goes far beyond any one mans term in office It goes far beyond any one mans lifetime It goes far beyond any century or any one era From beginning to end, top to bottom East to west, north to south Red, yellow, brown, black or white Our commitment to killing each other Is undeniable How can a species that is smart enough to split atoms Creating weapons that will kill millions Still be stupid enough to do it? And now I see on the science channel That man has now devised the Platonic beam A beam of light that just disintegrates the target in an instant At what price you ask? Well I don’t know but I reckon if we diverted that money To say solar energy projects They could probably put a solar energy system On every home in the world for free Thus solving the energy crisis Not to mention food in the icebox and medicine in the cabinet Because of course when you create such an amazing new weapon You need an entire new type of ship to deploy it from Thus is born the next generation of war birds They jettison into space Then go into super afterburner (A jet engine minus oxygen) Which they said would reach like 20,000 miles an hour So you could shoot halfway around the world Disintegrate your enemy And be home in time for supper I believe when speaking of politics It’s not a National Crisis It’s a Global Epidemic
