Should I Care

The world’s a mess. Humanity

(that’s right: illiterate, scared, frightened

Humanity plays lip service to truth, honesty

And justice, while embracing and submitting

 

To what is wrong, the first step on the path to evil)

There is a literary device, where there is judgement

The preservation of human life hinges on the hero

Or heroine being able to identify true goodness 

 

in one individual, preferably a group. Is this our narrative?

Yes, the bulk of humanity is horrible, disgusting and a death cult,

But - this is important - there is a sizeable component of them

Committed to saving the world. Are they heard, recognized

 

Or acknowledged? Next question? So, is it each of us, to make the choice?

The adversarial nature of this relationship is a perfect example

Of where we’ve gone, and continue to go, wrong. There are those

Who believe plundering the planet is acceptable, and those 

 

who believes it is not. There’s a difference of opinion.

Opinion!? That’s a different matter altogether

Opinions can be changed, present a better argument

And, BINGO, enlightenment and understanding

 

I/we were wrong, were incorrect in our thinking

Why do I have a horrible feeling of sinking?

What did he say? “The bulk of humanity is horrible

disgusting and a death cult”. So true, bro; so true! 

 

Opinions can be changed, present a better argument

And, BINGO, enlightenment and understanding!

 

Why is it so stark and dark?
