The Savagery, That Civilization Conceals Poem by Sandra Feldman

The Savagery, That Civilization Conceals

Rating: 5.0


The Idiocy
Of it all!
Man cannot leave,
Well enough alone!
One step forward
"A giant step for
Mankind"
And then ten, backwards,
Wars, Violence, Destruction
An imaginary ax to grind,
And back to the caves
We go,
Are we really Civilized?
If you find out,
Please let me know.

one step forward but if stupidity makes ten steps backwards then it's easy equation we are not overall civilized still!
