The Beast

Let's take a bit of a step back and have a close and protracted look at ourselves as a race of beings and at what point in evolution do we now stand proud and aloof surveying all before and below us?
.
In just a relatively short time in the narrative of this planet, the ‘Human race’ has certainly had an enormous and long-term effect, it has certainly left its impression ....
But has it taken its eye off the ball?
.

Over many thousands of years; through searching, experimenting, exploring, trial and error, we have managed to achieve a proportionally large amount of errors, physically, psychologically, metaphysically and morally as opposed to our accuracies.

These errors are now acknowledged as such, as wrongdoings purely by the effrontery, shock and absolute horror of those of us who deem ourselves not to be of the ilk to perpetrate these actions; those of us who choose not to participate in these deeds which so offend what we ourselves have created as a benchmark to how we live our lives feel as we confront those who commit these offences. We ourselves through thousands of years of discussion, debate, argument and warring, have come to a loose but faintly defined set of rules and agreements on how we should conduct ourselves for the very little time we spend here. Granted, there will always be the exceptions to the rules....But so many?

We stand at the edge of man made and natural battlefields and peer on as millions of fellow humans cruelly suffer and perish without more than a token gesture to assist unless there is something for others to gain. We blunder into and without remorse decimate peoples and places on the whims of a few. We punish individuals for small and insignificant effronteries and crimes against our benchmarks, we create petty, shallow rules and regulations whereby more inconsequential and minor penalties and remonstrations are levied against the many but ignore the few known perpetrators of crimes and aberrations so vast, so immense that the whole world trembles due to their actions.
We have tribe battling tribe empowering their conflicting beliefs across the globe whilst millions are left suffering in their wakes. We kneel and fawn at the altar of excess and venal thought. We admire, champion and reward those who have taken from the masses through deception and stealth, without thought or regard.

From tip to toe, top to bottom, in all walks of life, from the highest regarded bloodlines in the world to the hallowed corridors of political and financial power, from the very echelon of legal propriety to the consecrated palaces of those we have elected to wield the rules and guidelines of religions we have developed to keep us on the right path, the straight and narrow, the true and righteous way. They are all riven and tainted with the ugliness of venal personalities.

And still we continue to blunder our way through this labyrinth of time and space, allowing ourselves to continually commit these violations against each other... We are utterly oblivious to the fact that the solution is quite simple to the gigantic mess we have made.....We may be blind to the answer...But there is something that’s not...Mother Earth herself, this very planet we are slowly ripping apart trying to justify a brief visit here......I think she may be nearing the limit of her patience....

Right, back to the garden....

My guess is that like all species we are learning and adapting to everything that faces us. In the relatively few tears we have been around we have achieved an enormous amount albeit at a cost to some.

Progress has always had a price, who's to say in 200 years the world won't live in peaceful harmony and any damage we may have done to our planet Mother nature will repair?
