Isms

we all believe in realism,

some agree with Darwinism,

have all life forms evolved,

most problems unsolved,

some see life through a prism,

erupting into barbarism,

killing of young and old,

In such ways that leave us cold,

Communism capitalism fascism,

defined ideologies of demonism,

tribal leaders our minds they Mould,

to exaggerate their paper gold,

let's remove the shackles of skepticism,

our outlook must be optimism.
