History of us

History of us

By Barry Oreck

 

We use it up

 

We take until we run out

 

We need more

 

We want more

 

We get bored

 

We rationalize

 

We justify

 

We lie

 

but we don’t pay the price cause

 

we die first

 

and let the next group deal with it

 

Better that way.

 

We care for some

 

We are easily bruised

 

and easy to anger

 

We honor aggression

 

We go with first impressions

 

We learn naught

 

about living on the planet

 

for a long time

 

We do not consider sustaining

 

only gaining

 

What a species!

 

What promise!

 

Sadly, evolved for immediate gratification and survival only.
