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?

Till the rest of us tire and give into defeat. 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.

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.
