Vultures and Doves

Prices rise, incomes fall Terrorism reigns, nuclear pall Health care declines, rich people dine War everywhere, machine guns whine What happened to ‘peace and love’ When did the vulture devour the dove Where did ‘post-20th century’ go ~ but human nature never grows

your poem expresses the sad, tragic, and almost apocalyptic world we see today. I too wonder what happened to 'post 20th century.' It appears to have vanished amidst the violence, chaos, and poor leadership. Yep, your poem hit a nerve :-)
