  When we lose the ability to share, to work together, we lose the fundamental framework of what makes us successful as a species. I love the way you have expressed this in your poem, so thought provoking.

  (yet again, your words
  have helped to inspire me
  to ink words, that surpass
  my feeble levels..
  thank you! dear Poet)
  'the only problem with theology
  was in its insistence
  that for one to be true, the other
  must be false, hence
  all that war and hate..
  modernity, now free
  of theology's chains
  Chooses, to assign those same
  divisively tragic, mindsets
  to politics
  to polarising identity extremism
  to warped activism
  and on...
  makes you think
  if cyclical
  be humanity's patterns of self-devastation
  and so blatantly obvious to even
  fools like me
  why do, those that curate
  the status quo
  choose, to maintain such
  destructive elements
  at the core foundations
  of our societal make-up
  surely
  it can't be, as basic and archaic
  as that whole
  'divide and conquer
  segregate to subjugate'
  methods of tyrannical, rule
  right...
  right?
  yeah, Right!

  You are right. It's impossible tp live together
  with a zero-sum mentality.
  
  Thanks LB.
