The Staus Quo

The world is not all flowers and sunshine At least not for me I view it as a dismal and foreboding place Filled with lies and falsehoods Broken promises And unseen dangers I do not see the good side of man I see a once great creature Broken and lost A great empire Now an empty shell A hopeful pursuit Now a laughable tragedy I see the powers that be Corrupted and misguided in their efforts I don’t see the good of the human race Its efforts at progress escape me As does the existence of man The purpose of trying Seems fruitless to me I do not see evolution I only see the need for Revolution They say insanity Is doing the same thing over and over And expecting different results If this is true Then can someone explain… The status quo Eric (and sometimes not)
