To Further Birth...

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Sadly, the root cause of the world’s most egregious maladiy, i.e., unabated birth, has as its simple remedy—education. But, until mankind’s priorities align with Nature and humanity’s suffering and self-destruction, the planet’s survival will remain but a broken mirror with distorted reflections.

To Further Birth…

To further birth…
remains our species’ neuronal quandary,
the mortal battle with the innate will of cells
pursuing only visionless duty to reproduce.

How vacuous the realm of reason has become.

Where once humanity’s knowledge took center stage,
such now slumps in beleaguered shadow,
peering from the wings of relegation,
stage-fright that re-entrance may never be cued.

Global birth soars unabated,
becoming future’s audience
applauding the proliferation duty of the uninformed,
ignoring responsibility for the overwhelming reality.

Such has become the rationale of deniers,
blind to the seduction of their subconscious slavery,
where long abandoned synaptic health
drags shackled reasoning into decision’s arena
awaiting battlement’s continued blood lust,
where further defeat only enhances history’s next round
of unenlightened self-adulation.

Might the notion to further birth on our planet
be a dishonest proffer of furthering death?

I don't remember being born. I know though that my Mother groaned, and my Father wept, and into a dangerous world I leapt. And I had no say in it. As to your final question; I have no clue how to answer it.
An interesting write. Enjoyed. Peace... r

Excellent points, and much to ponder. what will it take for mankind control their hormones?

One word: abstinence

This could lead me to saying things in an unladylike fashion (truckers in the family) so I'll leave it at that one word.

Love ya!
