Inventing Peace and Harmony

Humanking our species
seemingly knows no bounds

When it comes to grandiose
design's inventions and creation

Matched only by our inherent
limitless thirst and capability 
for then destroying and killing 
everything we built up

The only thing we seem incapable
of doing is loving thy neighbor
and geeting along in peace
and harmony

And this is not fresh new
information or a revelation

Worst of all is if history
has not taught us any
lesson at all

Is that if we haven't
found a means of how to 
resolve or fix the problem

Of our eternal relentless
bloodlust by now

We probably sadly never will

We are creatures of habit Christopher that somehow developed intelligence but like your poem says, we do not seem to learn from history, humanity is inherently corrupted by wealth and power, maybe AI will become the game changer in the future, but which way that goes is anyone’s guess, nice poem, cheers David
