The Watchers

They stay in the background stating a useless union still self-centered powerless, ill-prepared, inept entity of promises, the verbiage of false hopes with all the dos and donts, watching, waiting, predicting, and anticipating another's demise into servitude rationalized with lie and innuendo, pseudo promises, outright lie, treaties made never intended to be kept; an envious and jealous desire of possession over control, land and people, ever transitory it never seems to end, forgetful of history's lessons never once learning the realities of truth; self-indulgent arrogance and ignorance internal self-gratification to be more bound by useless rhetoric and threat and the human race reverts ever backward; how long do we watch from distant shores? as humanity fades into the past aggressions back to the dust and earth in regression of time in restart?
