The End of Civilization
THE END OF CIVILIZATION
COMES WITH THE GREATEST DISTRACTIONS.
CELL PHONES, SELFIES, AND FACEBOOK,
DISTRACT US FROM THE REAL TRUTH OF EACH EVENT.
SEX SCANDALS, LYING POLITICIANS, AND ABSOLUTE POWER,
CORRUPT THE HUMAN BEING.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO TRANSCEND THIS DENSE LEVEL OF EXISTENCE?
ONE NATION UNDER DECEPTION, WITH DIVIDED ATTENTION,
AND DIVIDED INTENTION IS ALL WE HAVE.
OUR GREATEST DAYS MAY COME AFTER WE FALL,
AND PERHAPS THE FALL WILL DETERMINE OUR DESTINY.
WE EACH HOLD THE DESTINY OF HUMANITY.
PERHAPS HUMANITY IS AN EXPERIMENT, IF ONLY A TEMPORARY ONE.
LET'S START BEING THE POSITIVE FORCE WE NEED TO BE TODAY.
HUMANITY DOES HAVE A PURPOSE,
AND IT IS ROOTED IN TRUTH, PEACE, AND JUSTICE.
