How awsome is the mind of humankind
There seems to be no force that can’t be tamed
No disease for which a cure can’t be found
No boundries that cannot be broken down.
We travel to all corners of the world
What once took months is narrowed now to hours
An earthly creature landed on the moon
Some think the same on Mars could be done soon.
We watch events unfold around the world
Yet never leave the comfort of our homes
We talk to friends wherever they may be
Written word took weeks is now instantly.
Impossible, a word we do not know
We replaced it with the shorter, go
But when powers of the world lust for more
And leaders of the nations can’t agree
We return to the more old fashion way
By sending our our young people off to war
Lives squandered there like ashes in the wind.
