Invincibles
Could it be that humanity is self-destructive?
Seems we have moved beyond self-preservation
I’m thinking any semblance of brotherhood lost,
Little interest in anything constructive.
Apparently lust and greed are the new norm
No matter whom they hurt, or what it costs,
Understanding and compassion are lacking
Freedom says little will to conform.
Weren’t there once inviolable universal principles
Actions considered too egregious to consider?
Now, it seems that nothing is out-of-bounds
To the haughty, the dictators, or the “invincibles.”
