As far as I know, the scope of humankind's problems doesn't decrease, overall (somewhere this or that situation improves, while somewhere it becomes worse). There's a galore of sociopolitical problems, also there are environmental ones. While the world human population is already somewhat above 8 billion (8 **** billion) & keeps growing (due to the majority of the most sentient species' members mindlessly reproducing, regardless of their financial situation, genome, & ๐—ฆ๐—ข๐— ๐—˜ other ๐—™๐—”๐—–๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ฆ that ๐—ฆ๐—›๐—ข๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—— ๐—•๐—˜ ๐—–๐—ข๐—ก๐—ฆ๐—œ๐——๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—— ๐—•๐—˜๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜ ๐—•๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—” ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง๐—œ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง ๐—•๐—˜๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—œ๐—ก๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ... ๐—ค๐—จ๐—œ๐—ง๐—˜ ๐— ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐——-๐—จ๐—ฃ ๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—Ÿ๐——; but who the hell gives a ****, right?). ๐—”๐—จ๐—ง๐—ข๐—–๐—ฅ๐—”๐—–๐—ฌ & ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—š๐—”๐—ก๐—œ๐—ญ๐—˜๐—— ๐—–๐—ฅ๐—œ๐— ๐—˜ are ๐—ข๐—ก ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—˜ (๐—ฅ ๐—œ ๐—ฆ ๐—˜).

It's the wealthy that consume more than the rest & cause the most CO2-containing fossil fuel emissions. All of the wealthy are corrupt to different degrees.

A wicked good question keeping in mind that it's mostly unprivileged & way less corrupt people who are affected by both sociopolitical problems & the global warming caused by the corrupt wealthy. That's unacceptable, it's wrong to accept that. There's an option on how to decrease/slow down sociopolitical problems & the global warming. It's simple as rhyme schemes of most writers of pop & trap lyrics, but not in terms of how to reach the proposed. I don't see a better option of fixing the status quo than to get rid of as much of the corrupt wealthy as possible by both legal means &, if legal ones are blocked or ineffective due to governmental corruption, forcible ones. I don't mean everyone of the wealthy should be targeted, only ones that contribute to injustice more than do something good to society or its individual members.

I know what humanists & pacifists may say. Something like: "Yes, they're corrupt, but they are still humans, they have human rights. It's wrong to get rid of or put pressure on anyone by forcible means. Blah-blah-blah". On which, some would retort that it's justifiable to get rid of or put pressure on them by forcible means. (I'm not sure about some types of agents of authoritarian regimes & fossil fuel lobbyists, but) the majority of the former & mobsters deserve to be dealt with by forcible means, for they contribute to injustice, including by means of force, not being forced by their social situation to do so. There are justifiable wrongdoings (necessary/lesser evil) & unjustifiable ones. A food theft committed by a person dying from starvation, or a ****** of a murderer committed by a person in retribution for their significant other murdered by the very murderer are examples of justifiable wrongdoings. There's nothing like that when it comes to the afore-mentioned groups of the corrupt wealthy. The best justification of their contribution to injustice they have is that they do it to maintain & preserve their wealth & to survive physically under a corrupt system they're parts of. That's a wicked lame justification. They should never have become a part of a corrupt system in the first place. Contributors to injustice must face consequences of their actions.

What flies higher and faster than an eagle;
Moves in underwater distances greater than a whale,
And quicker than a shark;
On land, makes the chetah look immobile;
Can burrow deeper, and more effectively than a mole;
Is more powerful than elephant, rhino;
Has a higher perspective than a giraffe;
Presents with more audacity than a monkey;
Yet has the discerning powers of a gnat,
And the future longevity of a fruit fly?
Still Crazy Dec 2024
First know this:
In my peoplesโ€™ history,
an oldย evil, revived,
a real pretend
aโ€newโ€ enemy, but
merely a derivative of a-prior,
old name, same hatred,
irrational and raw,
rising up in every generation,
under cover of a โ€˜philosophy,โ€™
lies buried a purity of motive,
purity of hate for hateโ€™s sake

<โ€ข>

For my people
and their beliefs
Our secret to our
survival is manifest,
you may have heard it called,
A Secret Chord (1)

Tears and Laughter,
Tears Behind Laughter
intertwined, or else,
we would not indeed beย ย 
the long going on tribe
studied by curious
historians & idiots

me?
still crazy, after all these generations

Grandparents & Parents
chased by โ€˜professionalsโ€™
from places well known to you
(hey! we somehow got away
with huge luck, and courageous daring)

Not requiring your sympathy
not asking for a special empathy,
not rejecting your clucks,
but we manage
though tears aplenty
that we mask under a guise
via self-deprecating humor

I would love to tell
the Bible and the liturgy
is full of sly winks,
cutish double entendres,
bartender jokes,
but it ainโ€™t necessarily so
donโ€™t ya know

if the bible had made
gentle laughter at/of/
angelic & human foibles
and maybe
even God laughing at
all too human characteristics

but thatโ€™s a very big ask,
not sure Heโ€™s up to the task,
making fun of yourself
when youโ€™re the
top of the chain
requires
humanility
whichโ€™s not a masterโ€™s
first calling
but should have been its
first blessing

so thatโ€™s up to us,
we irreverent creatures
of his design,
and why we are the absolute tgw only
species that cries
to express
sadness-
and mockery maker
of ourselves
the oy in
oh vey beings
Still crazy after all these years

I might not be FBI
But I do know and see
Evil when the zit pops up
As I see the same zit of evil
I see a constellation of behaviour
That is unique to the person
But I have seen to much evil in
My life
You can not fool me
You can not call me heartless
If I smell the stink of evil
Odd Odyssey Poet Dec 2024
Amidst the echoes of a victorious romance, would you seek me?
In its subtle notes, I harbour every grievance, silently measuring
you against the passions of pasts, the ardour I once knew with
those I loved. The heat of your lips ignites a longing within me,
a rich Cyprus wine that awakens my very soul.

My skin bears the marks of disdain โ€” a fallen star I proclaim,
for those who yearned for genuine love, yet bared their desires
to the world. The sincere man allowed each kiss to belong to its
rightful muse, while a desirous gaze conjures love born solely
from jealousy.

The eyes, those envious masterpieces of humanity, without
a doubt.
They told me,
The kind of person I am, is good.
I asked them if they meant my because of my art,
They simply patted my shoulder, "You're not like them darling."
Who are they,
The people you say are bad?
I saw no one different than me at the showcase,
We were all humans who gathered to show off our art.
Of course, I know what they meant,
I just couldn't believe they'd say it.
Hears to being human, a single species made of good people.

it terrifies me sometimesโ€ฆ
the ugliness that smears the world -
with shades of despair, and evils unheard.

thereโ€™re things you hear, and learn, and know,
and wonder how mankind could stoop so low.
your fury knows what must be done, yet -
powerless you watch the madness grow.

the night is no longer the custodian of evil;
we see it day in, and day out.
the morning news, the afternoon bites;
come evening, youโ€™d rather gouge your eyes out.

the screams of anguish of a woman bent over -
on the tasteless floor, her innocence devoured.
the wrath of a community, on the back of one man,
who dared speak his mind - his life is over!ย ย 

the game of politics,
the lies, the trecheries;
men without jobs - or homes -
living on the streets.
an animal slain to please a God,
as a child watches,
only to repeat.

yet it all goes on,
as though a **** in the wind.
the world tells you,
โ€˜grow up, man! grow a thick skin.โ€™
i wish i could tell you otherwise -
a story not so bleak.
but thereโ€ฆ
they probably beheaded a son before his mother,
as we speak.
