Art and Music
Art and music
Dance and poems.
Death and agony,
Prayer and omens.
Dispensing justice
Arbitrary pain.
Extracting a price
For every gain.
Maladjusted monkeys,
Psychotic apes,
Believing they’re superior
Reality gapes.
Dressed in gladrags
Sipping beer,
Pretending sophistication
While despising the queer.
Welling in confusion;
A jigsaw of mad;
Good and bad – black and white,
No sanity to be had.
We create. We destroy.
We elect the very worst.
We wander. We love.
But all we do is cursed!
Opher – 27.12.2024
Once again I am struck by the dichotomy of our nature. We are capable of great love, wisdom and creativity yet spend our time in destructive viciousness.
We make high art, ballet and write astounding novels them bomb babies and slaughter the wildlife.
We are demented, psychotic apes with brains too unstable. Our intelligence is our greatest strength and our biggest weakness.
I suspect it will lead to our downfall.
