Poem Title:
Poem
In all these triumphs and human attainments To overcome these realities of material boundaries and confinements Do we simply fill our lives with possessions and possessive capitalist greed Is it just ego and the fear of death that governs our sense of individuality Have not all of us been children, been fathers or mothers, siblings and friends Do we not count the emotion of another as being equal to our own Are we not each and everyone, all of us in this together Or does this blood run a different colour Or do we waste our potential for mankind’s united evolvement To reach for the inspiring pinnacle of our spiritual development Mutually joined in a harmony of trust to the betterment of our destiny When do we celebrate the diversity of our sense to make sense of the senseless And so we have lingered through the century’s victim to our own disease In progress and with education our intelligence still limited in tribal ignorance The mathematic, scientific and technological revolution providing no solution Simply confounded by our own simplicity and basic needs For food and warmth, for shelter and love, for the relief of boredom Cavemen of the mundane and slaves to acquisition and our own entertainment As we merely continue to continue Such is as we are, the problem vis-à-vis the individual and the global Knowing all to well what we could achieve if we could but realise our dreams Doomed to a life which creates nothing but want And a daily reminder of all the things that we can’t While the cradle of the Earth sickens with our planetary abuse Have we truly lost ourselves in the all about the money all the way of things Have we signed our fate over to our own arrogance and blind stupidity When then do we celebrate our diversity of sense to make sense of "our" senseless
