Insanity

Insanity A plague plagues human beings. It started with the very first two. Throwing away everything good, wonderful, and beautiful. Many billions of humans later It Permeates the globe. Insanity! Modern-man, has the advantage of hind-sight. They can see mistakes humans have made before them. Yet, choose repeating mistakes knowing that it is a mistake. Insanity! Teaching youth not to lie but, lie to them regularly. Knowing one day they will know of the lies told and, they repeat the same lies to their youth. Educational history books are filled with known falsehoods. Then there is Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Boogey-man. The list goes on and on. Insanity! Besides destroying the planet that sustains us there are wars, hate, corruption of government, cruelity, racism, slavery, hunger, poverty and, so on. Repeated throughout the history of humanity. Remaining to this very day. Insanity! Nearly every human being on the face of this planet is touched by this plague. Or...could it be humanity is the plague. Insanity!

I think your next to last line is the answer to most, if not all of the questions your very cool poem expresses. Nicely done but are you saying there is no Santa Claus? Damn.
