Shall Mankind Ever Stop Repeating Insane Actions

Found this old poem today. Written when I was young and thought the world could change if enough humans just saw the Light. I then did not know, that the Light must be sought and embraced if any MEANINGFUL AND LASTING CHANGES EVER OCCURS AT ALL. Shall Mankind Ever Stop Repeating Insane Actions Thousand years distance, Hope's Truest of Truths cheered, in its abundance within hearts seeking only peace Yet there also, darkest forces played loose at night bestowing grave doubt and aches upon mankind Amidst this chaos, peace became a lost ghost war raced in to fill that sad and empty space When apathy won, death became a ghastly meadow as dancing dark demons paraded forth and jeered, Thousand years to come, shall Hope find a repeat where black shadows invade to destroy more lives Never say never, for evil sails upon blackest of seas death lurks under malignant waters set to destroy Shall we again in arrogance welcome such Dark raging mad in ravenous flesh destroying appetites Or will some saving angel travel here to then appear and our embraced insanity, with true light defeat!
