Culling

Culling Back in the ancient long ago, We had the great Crusades, Men with red crosses on their chest, Used swords against scimitar blades, Todays evil ones would murder all, Is death a disease, Does hatred of mankind, bitter gall, Create such misery? It is in man to cull the crop, To trim the numbers there, With 6 billion on the planet, stop, Another, world slaughter, so unfair? Murder is in the heart of some, It festers, and the deed is done, It’s enough to get you on the rum, The bitter harvest there… Don Johnson 23-aug-11
