An Age in Retrospect (Take One)
We went to the moon did we?
Reality obscured by time.
The 20th Century-cinematic in its achievement-
a hundred years worthy of celluloid rhyme.
A mise-en-scene of conflict and grief,
technological advancement, and ways to give relief.
Framing the fortunes of the few in a visual media crime-
for 75 million others-it was just their time.
Awarded a montage of ideologies and the final solution.
For best director and supporting cast,
and a disturbing, ugly, evolution.

a more grown up site.
As for the numbers of people who were killed in WWII, it seems like an enormous number of people, doesn't it? Yet here we are 60+ years later and we've gone from 1.5 billion to 6+ billion. It didn't make a dent in global population. If anything, it paved the way for exponential growth. By turning our focus on Europe and away from truly problem areas.
So Europeans, are now more evolved, having through natural selection birthed people who work cooperatively. While the rest of the world is still filled with deep hatred and resentment at others expense.
Sorry for running on like this. Good to read you again Paul.

I wanted to see the vid but it says...
"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."
But no fear, of course it was so...
Thanks for sharing your gift!

This is a clear picture of "An age in Retrospect (Take 1) ...Video presentation"... in "a hundred years worthy of celluloid rhyme."...
~ and this fourth line ~ did stop my time, and took me on trip through the realms of PLUTOCARCY.
I liked what I read through the lines of "An age in Retrospect (Take 1) ...Video presentation".
I salute You, Poet.
