The Stupidity of Man

The stupidity of man The leaders of Europe are gripped by a collective madness Like swimmers in a river feeling the pull of the current, think There is time to swim ashore where banks are not so tall. The river gets wider, the current stronger, the ocean nearer Where the maelstrom awaits churning life into fragments. The leaders of Europe thought they could alter the current Vainglorious as king Canute trying to stop the incoming tide. There are those the enemy of humanity who thinks a nuclear War is not so bad, millions are killed but not for those who hide In a secret valley in Wales, so dumb they are dying in a cave. We, the people are blind to spending time arguing about The non-binary sexual politics drowning in utmost banality.
