THE MADNESS OF MAN.
I know. I did it for decades.
Be part of building a house 🏠.
An electrical engineer.
A computer scientist and more.
The client calls up the architect(s), Ideas exchange across board, Drawings show the house,
The building, stadium or airport. Could be a bridge or a tunnel.
Or even a railway track.
The structural engineer, The electrical and mechanical engineers.
The quality surveyors.
The financiers.
The city councils giving approvals. Lots and lots.
And it goes on and on! Hurray! Completion archived.
Construction put to use.
Hurray everywhere!
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Our God is praised!
Enter, the demolishers!
They build not.
They wreck.
Wreckers unlimited!
Rockets, bombs, bullets and guns. Dark goggled,
Fingers on triggers.
Launchpads buttons.
All hell broken loose.
Explosions everywhere!
The young, the old.
Men women and babies too. Chickens and dogs,
Cockroaches and the harmless lizards.
Blown away,
Scattered into pieces.
The madness of man,
Manifests yet again.
Self destruction assured.
The Israelis,
The Palestinians.
The Russians.
The Americans.
The Blacks.
The Whites.
The Chinkos.
The Red faces.
Christians,
Muslims,
Animists and all!
And the Maker,
Up there, far away. Shakes His Head, not surprised.
Another civilisation
He must produce,
To take over from this dead one.
An everlasting world.
A world without end.
Sleep today.
Gone tomorrow.
Sunrise, sunset.
The madness of man,
And the child bearing woman!
