Theory of Devolution

I am a pacifist I despise war. It’s the only thing I actually hate. I’m never able to brace myself for Diplomacy that deteriorates: Recriminating dialogue amuck That results in irrationality. Adults become intellectual schmucks Whose mentality in reality Is equivalent to a chimpanzee In spite of our advances in science. Our mentality still swings from the trees Where once apish self’s had claimed provenance. We haven’t evolved from our ancient source Thus war is likely a matter of course.
