What does it take to retain a friendship, a marriage, or respect? Does one incident destroy a life time of work. Is there any sense of forgiveness and moving on? I usually like to post positive posts that are hopeful and uplifting. This one is just the opposite. It is my observations on how society has seemed to turn in on itself. It seems we have become like a tank of hungry Paranas waiting to tear into the next victim. We no longer have need for Judge and Jury. Every victim gets tried and convicted in the social media and the sensational news broadcasts. When society loses its moral compass everything becomes vicious. I believe we still have a long way to go in learning to care about one another.
Survival of the Fittest
Clouds of controversy cover all the good that happens
Enhanced and amplified by hungry predators
Waiting to devour all records of good
And regurgitate it all with poisoned stew
Serving it up to a mindless public
Waiting like fledgling hawks in a nest
Mouths wide open for red meat fed to them
Fighting for more than their share
Believing they alone are entitled to grow
And prey on weaker species
Feeding their young on the same raw stew
Survival of the fittest seems to be the norm
With the fittest becoming more vicious each day
