As The World Turns

Ah, humanity, the absolute crowning
achievement of nature's superbly arcane
craftsmanship in dabbling endlessly
with chemical interactions until success
was achieved, or so we believe for
did we not name ourselves homo
sapiens -- man the wise? Our
vaunted wisdom has been reflected
through the corridors of the ages
in never-ending warfare, territorial
disputes of dreadful ferocity during
which campaigns of conquest countless
human life has been 'sacrificed' to
the goal of achievement led by
humanity's depraved emotions
hard-wired into its genetic code. Yet
as intelligent creatures we recognize
our human traits in pathological
violence, jealousy and hatred and
ourselves created the means by which
rational debate shunning violence
and war could deliver peace and
assure security for all and so thus
was born the United Nations. An
edifice and an organization whose
purpose is clear; averting humanity's 
self-imposed disasters of genocide
and enslavement to create a world
of equality and opportunity. What
has been resulted is promise and hope.
What has been achieved is the rule
of implacable racism, fundamentalism
misogyny, isolation, threats and group
assaults by classic violators of human
rights denouncing those upholding
the tenets of the charter of this noble
world arbiter of justice, whose 
entitled representatives indulge in
corruption, nepotism, sexual aggression
and supreme self-aggrandizement.
