O'Reilly | Poem

the greedy get greedier even as our young get bloodied
it is the greed that brought the chaos
now of global proportions
some say they envy us if so
our advertising taught them that
indigenous people of the world were happy in their weaving
respected life in all it's forms
O'Reilley
how many friends do you have
that would not betray you for $25 million dollars
but the bottom line is
greed
has many degrees
and all of them leading to destruction
justice is blind because the universe per se
demands balance
the whole indigenous world is watching
fear
will destroy us
each side calling the other terrorists
and themselves retaliationists
if we lived our claim of being a great nation
we would take the high road
stop demonizing our enemies in order to kill them
roach motel indeed!
anaconda indeed!
infinite justice oh how quickly we changed that tune
did we figure out we call it on ourselves?
the highest law is love thy neighbor as thyself
can we do that?
not many left who turn the other cheek perhaps because it does not stop the violence
an eye for an eye is as old as mankind and does not stop the violence
both sides claiming 'retaliation'
evolving from homo erectus
to homo sapiens
now is a good time to evolve to
homo sentiens
which one might define as thinking thru the heart
