Unrealistic Inclusion

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?
