The Bane of Able Men Is a Blind and Crippled World

The bane of able men, is a blind, deaf and crippled world, Lacking in discernment, decorum and sincerity, Wanting genuine gratitude, profound wisdom and propriety, Choking on complacency, and adrift in a sea of avarice, Void of foresight, and ignorant of looming calamity, Full of men greedy for mere gain--like a mantis stalking a Careless cicada, oblivious of the oriole behind! Sighing, the sagacious seclude themselves and bide their time, Waiting for better times. All rights released into Public Domain
