RIDDLE
After these
600 centuries or so
how can we
pledge ourselves
to governments
that put arms
and warfare
above all else,
above caring for
the welfare and health
of peaceful citizens?
How can we
all too often
end up with
heads of state
who believe that
their own well-being
and (always) wealth
are more important,
are most important,
supercede the safety
of anyone else
except those who
keep them in power.
Are we simply stupid?
Why do we keep
returning to this
all-too-familiar path?
