RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)
Madness of War
Have I gone mad?
Have I awakened in another time?
With all the comforts of the modern world
We still endeavor war
What madness is this if not
A sickness of the soul?
We have machines that carve
Realities out of silicon
Enough food to feed all sentient beings
On an overpopulated planet
We have the means to settle Mars
Wealth and fame in ample supply
Art and culture to satisfy the masses
Mass and instant communications
The ability to live beyond our years
Yet we still engage in war
The brutal barbarity of war
The endless cycle of war
The futile exercise of mass destruction
Imposed on innocent people
Have I gone mad?
Then let me sleep a hundred years
And awaken when there is no war
