It's funny how so much time has passed since Zeus, but people still haven't changed that much when it comes to stupidity and abuse.


Poem Artwork


It's been thousands of years since Zeus,
but today it's the
same or worse old abuse.
People are still dying,
there are heads even flying.
Hate hasn't changed much,
some are still a little out of touch.


The east hates the west,
no one still can't figure out
what is the best.
The president wants to fight terror,
other politicians think this is an error.
Who knows what to stick with,
it's about as bad as myth.


Zeus might be gone,
but we exist on the same old stone.
The rock hasn't changed,
it has only rearranged.
For what it's worth,
this rock is still known as earth.
Same old name,
same old game.

Chuckle! Old Kingston Trio song:

They're rioting in Africa,
they're starving in Spain,
there's hurricanes in Florida
and Texas needs rain ...

What nature doesn't do to us
will be done by our fellow man!

It's a People thing. And if people were to suddenly disappear from this planet, I imagine that all the remaining species, and the rocks themselves, would breathe a sigh of relief, and the earth would keep right on turning 'round the sun. And you have expressed this beautifully, Grady! Write on!

Wise words.

With so much time that has passed, one would have hoped that mankind would have evolved more than we have...it remains the same game different era. The only difference today is that with technology, we just keep getting meaner and more deadly to ourselves.
Take care,
Sherry
