One World
How strange is humanity. At this time of
universal fear of the global pandemic
laying medical science and populations
low in a panic of survival a new mantra
has arisen 'we are all in this together' in a
world where we have never as a race of
animals of high cerebral function been
together in any sense of the sentiment.
Where great masses of people clinging to
basic survival in endemic privation ruled
by vicious despots for whom power over the
paltry lives of millions uncaring whether
they live or die of disease and malnutrition
embrace a fundamentalist religion invariably
instructing them that life in the hereafter is
guaranteed to those of firm faith, a faith
to heed sacred scriptures debasing that of
others, condemning them to death. Places
where civil infrastructure is as absent as
justice and human rights but poverty enduring.
Ragingly offended by the presence of others
on the globe who live in plenty, demanding
their 'share' of global wealth. A pause in
violent attacks against such enemies while
agitating for humanitarian aid during the crisis
and typically when normal life resumes so too
will the acts of rightful faith in rabid terrorism.
