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
