Phillatimus Phunslagg
Phillatimus Phunslagg became a scholar who,
searched for logic in the world around,
where so many acts of folly showed,
little forward thinking could be found.
He took his time to contemplate,
the many ways his fellow men,
were acting oft against their own,
and how they hurt themselves in the end
Survival of the fittest was the way,
they thought their goals would come,
but they overlooked the deep pain,
they would endure and cause for some.
So while in maths two negatives multipled
are known to change their products state,
in life that does not happen much,
as multiple negatives mostly bring hate.
He sought why when this is so very clear.
are more great follies played out each hour,
and even his great intellect failed to find,
why our politicians are such a dismal shower.
Perchance the answer lies within the fact,
that power brings men to such sobering news,
of the woeful mess our world is really in,
a time when they must reappraise their views...
