Another awesome thought provoking post.
In my opinion we go through 'cycles of stupidity' as societies.
All great Empires and Civilisations devolve to this point over time. The bread and circus, the ignorance and the ease in which many people choose immorality over morality are evidence of this. Our controllers have been corrupted beyond repair by greed and avarice. The only way it'll change is the only way it ever changes - Revolution either by peaceful protest or violent, there is no other way.
Great work buddy.

Hey my friend, thanks for all your help and for leaving such a great comment, I really appreciate it! Yes I agree with the cycles perspective completely, indeed as I wrote in one of my previous poems:
of time
until the wise step forward
and in the sand
draw a line
I've heard it said that "civilisation rises in hob nail boots and falls in silk slippers" and looking around, you can really see the validity of that statement. The greed, corruption and indeed evil that surrounds us, has become so interwoven within every facet of our society that I can't really see any way out. Every side is owned and every outcome has been wargamed. I think we have reached a stage where to rebuild as opposed to thinking we can alter the system from within is the only hope for any real change. Thanks again @tremendospercy :)
Maybe it will only end is in the way it has in the past - unforseen cataclysm.
Although I suggest the cataclysmic events in the past were predictable and indeed foreseen. You have no control, you can only prepare.
