Contemporary Wars Rage Technology Ruthless Poem by Terence George Craddock

why be lambs to the slaughter
why continue herd habit mentalities
why let greed intolerance injustice

impose hardships cruelties wars
upon invaded people afflicted
great hardship suffers unwashed...

suffering people may perceive
beauty kindness in suffering
give aid alms to others in need...

while an insulated minority
wallowing in excessive wealth
have sacrificed empathy pity

enlightenment

for countless luxuries
which will not sooth bloated souls
sinking into a mire of depression...
