Earthquakes and Volcanoes

Earthquake erupting volcanoes,
And a summer snow storm,
Will anyone heed the warning,
The earth is continuing to warm.

We kill in the name of a deity,
An allegedly merciful being,
And very regrettably,
Don’t cherish the short time we have for living.

Grown men playing a child’s game,
For the obscenely big buck,
And if you are extremely good looking,
You have all the good luck.

The arts are abysmal,
Music is at best humdrum,
The movies are intendent,
For the blind, deaf, and extremely dumb.

Can this madness ever stop?
Will the hatred ever end?
This is the internal conundrum,
We are doomed to repeat again and again.
