Edward Mccall Poet I do not know?

Article One

Oh mankind you claim to be civilized
 but you are ruthless and barbaric.

You claim to have compassion
 but you are heartless and unfeeling.
You say you are just but you are corrupt.

You rape the earth; 
your greed causes you to consume all that you can
 with no regard for your future self.

HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE?

Edward Mccall December 21, 2016 at 10:37 AM Sorry about the poor spelling I meant to say that I think you would like it. Again I apologize.

It's the article that gives hope I think he would like it to have a great day my friend.

Don't know about the raping of the earth, but the raping of spirit is obvious to me--and it is less mankind, and more its lethal politicians. Edward Mccall September 6, 2016 at 11:32 AM Joe. Thank you for your comment. Here's a thought that just came to me. lethal politicians are in part mankind. I would enjoy having you comment on more of my work. Keep writing.
