saluting our common sociopathy
from the balcony of social darwinism
blind to humility or empathy
and obvious reflections of narcissism

change the script? with peace and compassion?
or run predictable tropes of rage and melancholy?
grow into an emotionally mature society and
put in perspective the reruns of human folly?

yes please,
or be relegated to the galactic library
of failed genetic experiments
our modern rendition of comical incompetence
