Shakeela Kingzley Poet Rhyme

Lagging

We got this home as is
It came with the waves, the forests, 
waterfalls, sand dunes, the ice.
We claimed it,
Without thinking twice
We have conquered the land
The sea, the air
We have astounding devices
That your voice can travel through
Your face can travel through
And given a few hours 
We could be on the other side of the world
If we choose
We have holograms
For entertainment
And it’s growing
Because we’ve planned it
And our art is amongst the
Most aesthetic of all the planets
We are extremely creative
With emotions which overwhelm
And we’re one of the most innovative species
On this side of the realm

But we are hungry.
Some are hungry for food
Yet we’ve cultivated enough for all
Some are hungry for love
But that’s what they’re made from
Others are hungry for money
For power
Hungry for war
For all things that 
Cannot cross the veil with them
And constantly hungry for more,
Sad that this is the world 
That we are occupying right now
That war still exists and needs to be 
Materialistically 
Profitable somehow
I
Me
Mine 
Myself
Egotism laced with vanity
How are we so far ahead
In technology
But so far behind 
In humanity
