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!
