Poem
Tell me, 
My dear friend, 
My beloved brother, 
My trusted ally,

Till when are we going to let 
The autocrats
The dictators
The despots, and 
The tyrants govern us?  

Till when do we intend to allow these
Barbarous
Vicious 
Immoral, and
Unholy glory-seekers rule our lives?

Till when are we going to permit these ignorant monsters,
To imprison,
To torture, 
To maim, and 
To kill their own people? 

Till when are we going to observe these savages;
Attacking,
Occupying,
Enslaving, and 
Obliterating smaller nations? 

For how many more millennia do we have to witness the devastation of
Humanity because of these morally impotent criminals who 
Instill tons of hatred in the hearts and minds of our fellow humans?  

Tell me, my friend, my brother, my trusted ally,
Isn't about time to revolt against such malicious rulers?
Against such practices?
Against war?
Against ignorance, and 
Against injustice?

Has not the time come to replace these bloodthirsty evil men 
With virtuous men?
With men of a loving heart and mind?
With knowledgeable men?  
With compassionate men for peace?
With men of wisdom and justice?

Come now, my fellow human,
I wish you would agree with me.
I want you to agree with me.
I beg you to agree with me.
I implore you to agree with me if you, too, wish to see a
Fellowship of men and nations that cares for each other and is:
Kinder,
Nobler, and more 
Loving,
Otherwise,
The afflictions of humanity will never end, 
Unless, as Plato* has indicated in his Republic**, 
The wise and the just would rule the world
Or 
Those who rule the world become just and 
Wise!
