Ol' News
ol' news
and on the strife rages
across the heated lands
a blog papered main stage
bombs & beheaded are planned
victims and vicissitudes
captured on handy-cam phone
talking heads with platitudes
of thugs, their cover blown
pride in mankind runs to core
to prefer right over happiness
so slaughters settle some score
ignoring acts magnanimous
always wars and rumors of
to accuse and chide and blame
no cheek turned, if only for love
and long for change still remains
is Darwin's theory still alive?
can mankind evolve into kindness
or will only the weaponized survive
will civility fall from our blindness
pray if that's your provenance
act if your actions can better
our behavior has its consequence
let good life be our treasure
