Status Quo

What we were fighting about centuries ago,
seems that we’re still fighting about today.
If we haven’t been able to get it right by now,
perhaps it’s time we try a different way.

That's why we have the atom bomb: So we can blow up the planet and start all over again. ~ Semi-tongue-in-cheek

If we hit restart enough times, maybe someday we'll get it right.

Amen to that, Jerry. It's insane to do the same thing over and over and expect different results. We need to learn from our mistakes! Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your fine poetry, my friend. Bill

Thanks, Bill. Maybe one day someone will come up with the right answers. If only there was a book that tells us how to act. Maybe we could call it...a Bible.

Good one Jerry. Plus, if we taught our young the tricks of the trade(knowing propaganda, historical lies, etc.) maybe no one would should up to fight for the monied interests.
