Hats off



Hats off to humankind
Intelligent and powerful, if you please
Invented conflict into the world
But is yet to discover peace

Civilisations replete with wealth, wherewithal
Flawless, thronged with luscious charms
Crops here stack, blight and crawl,
Treasured weapons fly, empower tense arms
Friendship bounces back, on every Samaritan’s walls

Enamour the ears and the eyes
Delightful and pleasing aesthetics
Entertainment and condolence here lie
In selective, deaf and dumb gimmicks
Poverty of a kind, forever feeds the rich

Pockets overflow with slaphappy contests
Who has it the most, who is the best
Colourful thinking hats subdue fresh efforts futile
Hysteric people gunned their own simple smile
Blindness is the vision, armistice; put anew to rest

Cheers to growth and development
Networks, sky-ways, and freeways concur to connect
Yet hearts off and on, chime a harrowing piece
For the paths appear to be strong, but unstable and weak
History meets in time, as the ignored witness meek

Hats off to humankind
Intelligent and powerful, if you please
Invented conflict into the world
But is yet to discover peace
