'' They Did Choose The Latter '' Poem by Bri Mar

We were given a chance,
All life to enhance,
With the answers we soon became bored,
To saving our planet we were in a trance,
The solutions we then all ignored.

Our future need,
We did impede,
From reality the Human strayed,
Our incompetence we refused to concede,
It's our children we have betrayed.

Jack's alright,
You kept that in sight,
While screwing the next generation,
To help your own you refused to fight,
You sentenced them to eternal damnation.

While cash rich,
You made your pitch,
A billionaire is how you will die,
To have all this money there was only one hitch,
You'd taken everything your money could buy.

Suddenly you care,
Now you feel despair,
The inevitable is what you now hate,
Contrition among you lot is exceedingly rare,
Sadly, it is now far too late.

Let's face the facts,
Due to our criminal acts,
The species we call, HUMAN RACE,
Were literally papering over the cracks,
While staring death in the face.

When given the choice,
Would we mourn or rejoice,
Life or Riches?
To you what would matter,
The vast majority who did use their voice,
Yes,
