AGE of ASININITY
Although we still think life's a blast The Age of Entertainment passed. The Age of Asininity Is where we find Humanity.
We've given 'Mother' such abuse It seems we think she is no use. She cries alone with no effect To warn us all of our neglect. So much pollution fills the sea There are huge zones where life can't be. Where life could be, much can't be seen; Without a thought we've stripped it clean. Our poisons also fill the air At rates that show we do not care; And as the brown plumes fill the skies Thus making global warming rise We put Economy ahead Of forecasts that will leave us dead.
It is absurd for us to place Life on this Economic base So life success and failure rides On what Economy decides. One billion of us fail life's test. One billion more just pad our nest. The rest of us "fight tooth and nail" To get ahead so we'll prevail Despite the fact than in the end We may have cash but not one friend.
Look at destructive ways we try In vain to answer "The Last Why". We travel over ground well trod In tries to fill the void with 'God'; To keep minds occupied we trust Philosophies of men now dust; Without a pause on life we spend; Seek information without end; At jobs, careers we work to death; And eat until we have no breath; For love and family we may search; Look for a peak on which to perch; With drugs and booze we bend our mind; Take all the sex that we can find; And when we still find no relief We fight maintaining our belief.
This way creates so many fights In our defense of "human rights" That if I have to make the call, Are the most asinine of all. To think we actually believe Demanding our own 'rights' won't leave Humanity in such knots tied Just leaves me very mystified. Democracies are not immune To much 'rights' singing out of tune. Self-rightness is the only tool By which the many parties rule. Sides have their armies to be sure Their 'rights' and 'values' are secure; But what is right in killing for The 'rights' and 'values' we adore? How can we think that it is wrong To kill someone who 'sings our song'; And think it's perfectly ok To kill those who don't go our way? While this corrupted thought remains It will continue to cause stains From bloody fights that will persist Until no longer we exist.
Indeed we're truly asinine To think our way of life is fine; That though there's lots to fight about, If we sit tight life will work out. We're in a race that time might win. Who knows if losing is a sin? There is no way that we can tell. My guess is though it will be hell Unless our thoughts we rearrange To make this necessary change: Each individual must thrive To have Humanity survive.
I grant it will be challenging; But think if we the same song sing With our unique capacity, God's way that gives us liberty!
I wonder, will we turn the page; Or will this be our final "Age"?
