Time Machine

I write in the cuneiform stylings of the Sumerian But, somehow, this system won't allow my brand of hieroglyphics To print out So, sadly, I must communicate through this jumbled network of characters And, therefore, I will speak as clearly as this form allows... The civilizations that have lived eons before this current abomination Were swallowed up entirely by the gods for far less than What is occurring in this wasteland of layered greed often disguised as Altruism during times of crisis The vastness within the discrepancies between how some live easily versus How the masses struggle to exist Has become too great The loss of awareness replaced with apathy and entitlement Makes the modern condition fertile grounds for a strong Wake-up call for the elite, the spoiled, the ignorant, and the violent Especially as the aforementioned have typically veiled themselves with distinct notes Of misplaced, bastardized religious philosophy In order to continue with their agenda Unfortunately, it is in my estimation that only the poor continue to be crushed with The horrors of other, richer men seeking their vainglorious pursuits Without the slightest regard for their fellow man/woman/child And this is compounded with the torments of the earth's rumblings That twist the souls who have nothing into a state of deeper loss As their hands reach towards skies that bare no offering of fruition or salvation From their fellow man How does it happen that people forget about one another with such a cavalier attitude? Technological gadgets and hollywood make-believe are excellent distraction devices Used to shield the priviledged from reality...
