No Longer

The direction of humanity is up to us

We can no longer fight the wars

and our governments

taught us to fight


We can no longer follow

we must lead

our own lives

to a new destiny.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
