Once upon a time
Once upon a time
There was a mutation in an ape;
A tiny change in sequences
Leading to murder and rape.
On a beautiful planet
With a myriad of life
The arrogant apes are kings
Creating kingdoms full of strife.
Inventing gun and bombs
To protect their ivory towers
They set about subjugating
All beneath their power.
They thought they were above
All other animals
By building torture chambers
Safe behind castle walls.
Such a small mutation
In a strand of DNA
Is now threatening all life
With a burst of gamma ray.

It feels as if there are always two forces at play in human nature: the side that is for creating, helping and building and the side that is for violence, destruction and death.
The planet is either heading for a slow decay into polluted ruin or a fast meltdown into a nuclear pit.
Everything is run by greed and the lust for power. The world is soaked in fear and hate.
We’ve created religion and politics and use both to destroy each other.
What hope is there for these psychotic apes. On a positive thought – the planet will eventually recover from our brief custodianship. It might take a few million years, a lot of mutations, but evolution will plug the many holes we’ve created!
Life will prevail!
