Seeds of Evil

wars of every size
man's compulsion
thru the ages

always motivated
somehow by greed
call it what you may

persecuting
bullying
harassing
invading
crushing
conquering

causing drama
creating grief
thriving on mayhem
survival of the fittest
in the jungle of life

obliterating harmony and peace
sowing the seeds of evil

there are those who say computers should be put in charge...well, if they were then only the best and most capable creative goal achieving program computer would be chosen... not for war but for creative production ....why???? is it that if we humans are so advanced that we cannot/do not test potential leaders before they run for office with independent iq and psychological and sanity tests, socialability and logic tests, etc etc... then, make the results public

What mysterious beings we are with our so called intelligence.

This is so true; at some point, it'll come back to them. Sadly, by the time it does; they've already done the damage that effects everyone else. A wise pen.
