Twenty First Century Civilization Gone Askew
Twenty First Century Civilization Gone Askew...?
Methinks perchance man
kind always vain
n'er did appertain
moral hike polar opposite
from human being:
uncivil, unethical, unsocial, et cetera
minimally app proxy
mating, neither didst
faithfully abide as citizen Kane
externally - nar main
ten an ounce, (asper
atop figurative fain
faux shaw didst attain
"FAKE" horn o' manners), tolerance,
our predecessors didst abstain
nor internally betweenbrain,
sans modest straight,
and ne'r did entertain
narrow true lofty salient tenet
absence of virtue
tis no matter pray'n -
quite self evident, plain
as day, and vice gripped by
fratricide (or homicide
in general) endemic throughout
evolution of humanity dripping
nee gushing more'n
nah globule bloodstain,
viz more aptly bloodbath,
haply insinuated, embedded,
and accrued heart

saying division among
caveman club rings

bare co-opted spirit hood
did micro reign
buzzfeed ding death,
via plenti did retain

hardy internecine characteristic
kept in lock step with
protohumans enlightenment, qua

appellation "noble savage,"
which inchoate bipedal hominids

simian "Einstein brain
child"), viz favored
killing one another
strove and still thrives,
since Adam and Eve,
for sport, but most
dramatically didst appear
purportedly, when Abel

with imprimatur challenging authority,
sans grossly wading,
brazen overstepping

where thwack on noggin
