Leaders of great nations Hubris-drunk in their final years Push our world to yet another brink Leaving us fearing they might Commit the ultimate outrage. Land conquest, their place in history Fade into irrelevance and now Have little bearing on how Our lives will evolve. But we too indulge ourselves in The luxury of our petty designs And the ambitions we hold: Myopic, confined, restricted. Our blinkered view of this world Hinder us in seeing it as whole As a unity not affected by Human arrogance and leaves us Blind to the destiny Looming ahead of us. |
