Egotists and Lunatics

Madness stirs their passions... Such dregs have stacked the deck. Ideas resurrected from the dustbin Of History... make bold their disrespect. Ideologies of egotists and lunatics Prey now upon the weak. They salivate their malcontent... It is wry carnage that they seek. Devoid of humility and prudence... Learning nothing of the past. If we fail to confront these miscreants... Society will not last. It's been thought for many years... Wisdom comes with age. But my friend... the ship has sailed... The dregs will have their day. Don't be fooled by their actions And the crazy things they do. Some adults are nothing more... Then kids in bigger shoes. The End

They need to burn arsenal weapons, not history books. Only resins will be left when the demigods finish us all and take everything we worked for, died for, away. They tell us its for their children that they will not spend on welfare programs. Yet they taketh awayeth from the poor and our children! Viva Democracy!

Someone once said, "May you live in interesting times.' We certainly do. Have a great day my friend.

I absolutely adore this. It's SO obvious what is happening in the world and the fact that some people see nothing going wrong just flabbergasts me. FAVE

History is just people making the same mistakes over and over again... but we're still here... so I guess that's something. Stay well my friend.

Love the analysis at the end. One certainly remains a child when throwing temper tantrums, using illogic, violence (not all kids), stealing (cookies or from stores), unrestrained emotions, etc…

There are some strange policies out there... I don;t know what people in power are thinking. There's nothing wrong with trying something but if it doesn't work... get rid of it. This notion is lost on many people. When people are allowed to break laws with no repercussions... society collapses.

Awesome from the first line to the last. If we keep up at this rate of lunacy, I don’t see a bright future ahead. The inmates running the asylum into the ground.numbskulls “ .nutjobs run-this country. My thoughts align with yours….there are good, sane adults here in the US. But unless you support faux causes and fund the Monarch of the USA, careful! As the fed is weaponized and out to jail good people who know we are a republic, not a Socialist nation, Excellent poem Pangie

I'm afraid Socialism is on the way and all the 'glory' that it comes with... just adding to the misery of the Human race. Have a great day my friend.
