A Planet Of Crazy Apes.

Pinnacle Of Evolution

There's a crazy ape, who

by means of incredible intransigence

has mastered that art of carnage;

through dogged determination

in a ruthless rampage

raised the body-count beyond belief.

This crazy ape

creates the human chronicles

as a cruel callous calendar,

transforms our indulgent earth

into a primitive barbaric abattoir.

He struts across the land

with bumptious pride;

he's destructive, he's devious,

demands dominion

planet wide.

His claim to fame,

history immortalised in rivers of blood.

Even so,

this crazy ape called man, believes

he's the GODS' sublime solution,

progress's perfection

the pinnacle of evolution.

      Our planet is a small entity in the grand scale of things, and we humans pride ourselves as being a peaceful civilised species. However we are the only species that kills for pleasure, personal gain and wealth. We are also unique in that we are the only species that with gay abandon, destroys our own environment, and that of all other species on the planet. We will, if we continue as we are doing, be the cause of the demise of most of the life on the planet, including our own.

        I would imagine that to an alien species viewing our world from some far off galaxy, we would appear to be a savage, callous, self destructive animal, lacking compassion and in most cases reason. Our blood letting, over the centuries, across the planet, would turn all the oceans to a deep red. Our history is a litany of brutal wars, that never cease, of countless millions slaughtered, in the name of some false mantra.

       Today we are at an extremely advanced state of technology, which could transform our world to a paradise on earth, but we use that technology to kill and control, all in the name of greed, personal wealth and power. Glance across our planet, and what you will see is the endless wars, engineered by greed, the stupidity of racism, and the desire for wealth and power.

        Below is just a snapshot of some recent headlines, which doesn't include Lebanon. Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, Libya, and a host of other ongoing wars.

       Only the effort and the will of the ordinary people can stop this madness, we can't expect those who engineer and gain immensely from this ongoing slaughter to call a halt, they love their opulence and power.
