Should we all stop eating meat?
No, we’ll starve of protein doing that.
But yes, it’s morally right.
What about plants?
We’ll starve: fruits and berries are all right.
Eat meat instead!
Are we doing enough to avoid nuclear war?
Not enough, we are doomed.
Too much: the next level is with nuclear-holocaust-mutations!
And global warming?
Our greatest threat.
A hoax!
What should we do?
Just what is Good?
****** if we do and ****** if we don’t.
Should we be pacifists or should we fight?
Anyone Out There to put us right?
If there are,
Their lips are kept tight.
Even God, with all of His might.
One Man’s Good is another Man’s Evil,
From a great blue whale to a little Boll Weevil.
For now We stay on a lifelong quest,
Seeking out what might be the best.
Paul Butters
What is "Good"??? Sparked off by a TV documentary on Buddha, Confucious and Aristotle. I nearly wrote a sci fi story instead: humanity on trial!!!
