We congregate at the complacency alter
while force fed this insidious ideology.
Near the end of the beginning of concessions
lurks the beginning of the end of just in time.
Final touch left of unfinished business;
too little ventured so nearly nothing gained.
First stage of small effort, by failure preceded;
no time for success amongst decades of fiasco.
So, this is the sad legacy of humans.
Remembering all that is better off forgotten,
forgetting most of what needs to be recollected.
Stubborn refusal to recognize the plain truth
while pretending utopia exists.
Dreaming of peace, yet mishandling wars
while clamoring for unrealistic inclusion
can this be the merciful end of this race?
