A Bunch of Lunatics

I'm sure you've heard the expression In love with love Well that's me through and through Nothing in life is more important It can take over one's whole being But there's a bunch of lunatics in the world Who give us peace loving *****sapiens a bad name The lunatic fringe is what they're called Whose brains haven't developed beyond kindergarten In their mind, they're still fighting their schoolyard battles But on a much, much larger scale With much more tragic results Human life is expendable Not a consideration in the scope and scale of their conquests The end justifies whatever means necessary A side of us so called humans to be least proud of Will it ever change? Unfortunately I must answer no It seems to have been ingrained in our psyche eons ago No one is perfect But these lunatics are at the other end of the scale © Jack Ellison 2014

Now Dragon wants to save the world! It's hard keeping a big Dragon down!... He loves super hero cartoons, you know! The Rapid Response Turtle Team love to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Even offered them a place to live on their submarine, instead of the sewers. Nice Blokes, really! They're wise! Know you've got to save the world, one small thing at a time! So I've sent Grandpa Troll to get their help explaining! I'm getting the fire extinguishers! You know Dragon... when he's riled up!

I don't usually let world events affect me... it's my way of staying sane! But sometimes, it gets to be overwhelming! Sorry!
