Hollow Cost, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

What does it "signify"
To employ barbarity
To dominate arbitrarily
In reality only temporary

Visagoths vs Ostrogoths
Bloods vs Crips
Sunnis vs Shiites
Protestants vs Catholics

Flurry of activity
Shakespeare famously said
Sagan's Pale Blue Dot
The only home we have

We are not
A separate species
We are not as different
As we'd like to think

The planet far older
Than our species
The universe far older
Than our tribal beefs

Once the abused
Becomes the abuser
Hollow is the cost
Of forgetting our history

Creates human misery
Chasing utopias
Clamoring to be the apex
In an uncaring universe

We are all we have
It is what we must face
As a collective species
Least extinction be our fate.

Poetry by Brian37(poems by an atheist) Also on Facebook as BrianJames Rational Poet and Twitter Brianrrs37 I also have a new blog here at https://www.brianjamesrationalpoet.blog
