poem of the day November 25  

I find it very

very strange 

very unsettling 

the priorities 

now embraced 

by a new humanity

How Mankind has

no problem making

more and more 

lethal weapons

of mass destruction

able to indiscriminately  

kill thousands at a time

for the game of war

without much thought of

collateral damage

Yet when it comes 

to he-man macho sports 

like gladiator football

the world has become

extremely obsessed

about preventable injuries 

going to great lengths

to emasculate the game 

with new rules and safety equipment 

Watering down human sacrifice 

so no one gets hurt on Sunday

turning the once violent game

into games of Mary had a little lamb

All the while bombs of destruction

rain down 24/7 on the lives of the mostly innocent
