Alas, Truth Points To Man's Deep Hate

Alas! Truth Points To Man's Deep Hate This dangerous world's love for war with its evil and far flung stones has done far too much to atone. Fear now rules, man has gone too far! Peace and paradise now mere dreams with airy soiled beds there unkept lives herded into dying streams. Some seeing, with sad tears have wept! Who shall arise to this world save for such looming and massive clouds predict too many early graves. Earth filled with radiation shrouds! Alas! Truth points to man's deep hate future days wrapped in hell's hot breath we repent, else find that dark fate Will our legacy be such death! This dangerous world's love for war with its evil and far flung stones has done far too much to atone. Fear now rules, man has gone too far! Robert J.
