Civilization Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be Poem by Stanley Cooper

Bigoted racists filled with hatred
Religious fanatics with only their thoughts sacred
Destructive weapons that keep us in fear
Threaten to destroy most things we hold dear

Hot wars and cold wars, extreme confrontations
Blustering threats with few limitations
Good folk are homeless with no aid in view
Glory and power in hands of the few

Civilized society is mans’ noble attempt
To advance his social development
But its’ noble fruition we’ll never see
Civilization ain’t what it’s cracked up to be
