The Power of Prose?
Earth is a Terrifying Malevolent Place.
Violence, Hatred, and Tension induce abuse across an axis;
From physical to emotional to global
Ranging from Nuclear threats to littering
Humanity seeps slowly into a bleak drain:
A drain collecting all of the abhorrent practices that have been abolished.
Humanity exercised judgment at one time.
The ability to banish social and racial prejudice
Animated the minds of King, Lincoln and Clemens.
For this we praise briefly
And moments later discriminate.
These men believed in equality
And as soon as other succeed the feeling will become as infectious as the hostility that plagues society.
However,
Humanity wilts.
The plant battles a drought of aggressive, thrashing rays.
Without Water, it will not survive.
If Prose relays anything, let it forewarn.
Even Cacti reach limits.
