'' We Were Not All Seeing '' Poem by Bri Mar

If this is evolving,
Just what are we solving,
By the creation of weapons of woe,
Around greed and corruption we are revolving,
With our intelligence we ought to know.

We reward the fraud,
Money is our God,
Deities now take second place,
Over the commandments we now maraud,
Our behaviour is a total disgrace.

The Earth we plunder,
Life we put asunder,
For other life forms we show no respect,
That in itself is one major blunder,
Already we can see the effect.

The signs are there,
But we don't seem to care,
As humans that is so true to form,
Already we are in the depths of despair,
Riding headlong into the storm.

We let others die,
Sit back as they cry,
To some they don't merit a mention,
With common decency we refuse to comply,
They need and deserve our intervention.

We'll end up bereft,
When there's nothing left,
Perhaps then we'll admit our mistakes,
Too late to realise we are not that deft,
Too far gone to slam on the brakes.

If we're intelligence led,
Who is it that said,
The human was the ultimate being?
Like everything else we ended up dead,
Turned out,
