Devolution
Darwin’s out of favor it seems
and the celestial band’s in play
no tyrannosaurus from long ago with the arc experience now the nation’s destination
A neighbor bit the bullet, built
his house underground on a tree-
less plain with turrets for his sub-
machine and rations from a tele-evangelist
No more care for the sick, no chair for the lame, all the lucre
to the bosses who’ve found the secret code in Charlie’s survival of the fittest

Damn this one says exactly what I been thinking a lot about, makes me wonder why we took so many steps forward just to have folks back peddling
There are empaths still among us
The secret code being our Dear Leader. Well-crafted and chilling poem.
I enjoyed reading this truth
Hopefully the path headed toward the “nation’s destination” will be rerouted to a pace of common sense.
Well composed Jim. We live in hope but why should have to live in hope. I will stick with Robert Frost who said, “nothing gold can last”. I knew the word had taken a turn for the worse when, many years ago, I had to a training course on HR. I didn’t know what HR was so I asked and they said Human Resources. I asked the instructor what that meant she said you know, your employees. So, like people I asked. Yes, she said, it involves people.
Catchy title
