People have never been able
to get along for long
nationally or globally.
Wars keep happening.
Some countries can’t coexist in peace
Crimes still surge. Hate still rages.
Jails are still filled to capacity
with every imaginable kind of offender.
Murders happen everywhere everyday.
What a sad statement to the progress
and the evolution of the human race
that may be racing to its dissolution.
It’s like a delinquent, troublesome schoolkid
who sheepishly comes home
with all F’s on his shameful report card.
Bob Boyd
