humanity prospers in peace security
when all lives are held sacred esteemed
when all people cultures are valued
when all citizens are just laws protected
equally by laws enforcing human rights
for all powerful elite to faces powerless
what ruthless intolerance arrogance greed
does not realize is that without our decency
humility morality globe spanning humanity
cannot flourish prosper live beautiful lives
elite are worthless without healthy employees
elite soulless can purchase temporary illusions
escape through drugs may try to escape
meaningless greed inherent in empty souls
civilization bit a reality bullet with covid
an elite experienced lock downs plague fears
what if civilization society implodes collapses
instead of investing in enriching lives solutions
billionaires built luxury survival bunkers
to live a few more years in perceived luxury
desired not knowing time survival bunkers
will become restricted elite enclosed cell prisons
Elon Musk in contrast wants to escape into space
wants to become a space speck civilization in stars
an easier solution is to wise discard tsunami greed
amassing billions trillions no individual can spend
on grandiose self attaining pleasures endless obtained
spend these vast sums of money finite resources
focus intelligent insight empowered human minds
restore create earth back into a pristine paradise
