Weapons Of Mass Destruction

Folder: 
Wonderful World

Work or rest, tour or feast

Basic realities, hornet’s nest.

Parent, child, home or office

It’s the same mess,

“I am super -- you are less.”

Crack a joke, cartoon; clown around

Underplay, play, pull others down.

Backbite hurt, character assassinate

Rob the other of honour

Insults humiliate.

Doctors, engineers, lawyers, geologists,

Workers, nurses and specialists; suffer intense

Without an iota of bliss.

Multiple stresses

Reaction no less, than epileptic fits.

What could be the cause?

What has gone wrong?

What’s this toxic gas in the air that floats?

It’s very important, the truth we all must know

Facts; Able to guard and use, the correct antidotes.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The root cause for Weapons of mass destruction who can imagine? Toxin in air, can we purge or should we purge? The very same day we clean our atmosphere we can achieve our beautiful world in her beauty. We should: that we proclaim ourselves educated accomplished, qualified, moneyed. Or is it just a farce? A cheap game wine, women, wickedness  meaning exploit the body beauty ..!

Well, I was doing yard work this weekend
and it suddendly occured to me that my lawn-mower
can constituted as a "weapon of Grass destruction"
LOL
Seriously, the weapon of mass destruction we should
most fear is that attitude of selfish self-indulgence
me-isms and patriotic national pride, which drives us and
which you've made us aware of in your poem:
"I am super -- you are less."
....
Underplay, play, pull other's down.
Backbite hurt, character assassinate
Rob the other of honour
Insult humiliate."
Keep writinting - Stay vigilent.

Weapons of Mass destruction. I see this in the workplace as gossip. The tearing apart one person to increase ones own power. Plotting and coniving to bring them down. So you see WMD extends from the lowest levels of humanity to nations and even broader to religious sects and ideals.

Thought provoking. Where there be two joined together, they are probably bad mouthing a third.

Hugs and Peace
