To Divide Them Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Has the advancements made in technology,
Increased the intelligence of human beings?
Has the rising cost of college education,
Awarded anyone a credit towards common sense?

Has the expense of raising children,
From books printed to show how that is done...
Proven to anyone to be successful?

And...
Have those who chose to isolate others,
To divide them and conquer...
Feel any less ostacized themselves?

Has the cure of diseases,
Prevented the spreading...
Of more of them to occur?
