Why narcissistic wounds divide
People crying to get outside
Their imaginary place of hurt
Seared memories that only subvert
Reality from its intended purpose
To love one another without being callous

Why people hate the truth
Live in fantasy, forever the sleuth
Chase money like gerbils on a wheel
Trapped in a web of deceit and zeal
Waste time with computers
Their sanity neutered

Why young and old refuse to speak
Unless only to critique
Women and men are genotypically the same
Except for the x and y they continue to blame
People harbor grudges for an eternity
Prefer to live in a world of legality

Why nations go to war
Over plentiful resources, they play the whore
Religions remain exclusive
Instead of inclusive
Peace is impossible
People remain disposable

Legality, has no conscience. It is merely black and white words spread across sheets of crumbled, crinkled papers. Money is what? Legal Paper.
People remain disposable..because humanity can be bought and paid for. It's a scary circle in which we live.
An honest write for all the answers in which we search Keith.
