My Once Beautiful Planet

in #poetry8 years ago

 I continue to witness the Syrian Civil War from afar  
 

The return of rampant tribalism in the former prosperous Libya

 The nation of Afghanistan is continuously bathed in blood

 Hold your horses folks

 Because there’s more violence and corruption to highlight
 

Beyond The Middle East and North Africa
 

China and Japan are aligned for a slugfest over islands between them
 

Ukraine is decimated by America’s ongoing proxy war with Russia
 

Germany and France are overrun by refugees
 

Not to mention Greece, Italy, and Turkey
 

Some who truly needed protection  
 

Enough who hold allegiance to Wahhabi Islam
 

Beloved Europe
 

Why do I witness the construction of chainlink fences?

 Guarded by soldiers and police with automatic weapons

 The empirical evidence is clear

 Even though the statist shills wish to keep this hush hush

 The current era is certainly a major event in recorded history
 

All while my microcosm has remained uneventful

 Well, at least since the hot air balloon landing two years ago

 I observe this global drama through the eyes of gutsy journalists

 The men and women on the frontline of history

 Rather than solely in the television studio formally dressed

 If not for the brave souls of journalism

 I would be completely ignorant of the underreported international news

 Because the statist establishment has an agenda of deception
 

Their goal is to divide the people across numerous categories

 Gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs or lack of them

 Nothing is off limits for the trainers of humanity
 

Just continue the circular arguments and fool the people

 But times have changed you despicable journalists of mainstream
 

We must end this nonsense as a species
 

These divisions of artificial creation
 

They are mere figures of imagination

 Folklore of destructive power

 The time has come to practice the arts of peace

 Cease the use of fiat currency perpetuated by statists

 Explore the universe rather than bomb civil peoples everywhere

 Stop wasting natural resources by throwing them in the landfill  

 Remember  
 

The seven billion citizens of Earth hugely outnumber the real statists
 

The ones who pull the marionette strings

 Let us create a new economy

 One based on empowering everyone

 Rather than a select few
 

Heal the sick and maimed

 Love those in modes of quiet desperation

 And lastly  
 

Believe in ourselves again

Before the monsters of humanity enslave everyone
