As time ticks by

As the time ticks by, most run and run without destination

Like rats in a maze, humans have been reduced to nothingness

As tens of millions get ready to vote for a liar, cheat, and criminal

His pal is readying nuclear weapons to continue torture and mutilation

….

As asteroids hurtle toward the silly planet, and viruses multiply

As those without food seek solace in hunger and billionaires in divorces

As the pope gets angry at his own cardinals, criminals not inferior

And religious nut cases multiply exponentially elsewhere, little hope left

….

As the little lady in a meaningless island attempt to prop up pride

Cut taxes to aid trickle-down economics, with no understanding

As the fat idiot fires off missiles as if the whole world is watching

Humanity is on a tight leash, ready to break apart

…….

As the bearded leader shout, heckle and hide women’s faces

And the pasta woman gets ready to bring back Mussolini

America’s shame has been distributed across the World

In autocracies and democracies alike

……

As time ticks by, one must wonder about the need to sustain

They say time erases pain but not if it is incessant

Homo Sapiens remain with simple objective functions

And now they may realize spreading their genes is not important
