Sign of the Times

Scandalous governments

Inflicting misery,

Genocidal tendencies

Nuclear threat,

Our humanity next

For extinction,

This malicious legion

Harnessing hate and greed,

Extermination of other species,

Trespassers on nature

Insanity is their policy,

Murder and maiming vicariously,

End of days from climate change

Shows the ignorance of humanity.

I told my husband in November, the "DUMBING DOWN OF THE COUNTRY IS COMPLETE."

That is very true sadly.
