Have Humans Matured?
Writing serious poetry,
as hegemony provides
script for tragicomedy
Envisioning nuclear holocaust,
life singed to create “peace”
Where are we?
Fasces of mind and behavior,
individuals living in sandbox
of naive ignorance
Numbing of masses
to the destruction of humanity
As mainscream media
pontificates aerologies*
slanting the narrative
Chambers of reason
asking the questions,
exposing hypocrisy
Heirs of Aristophanes and Socrates
providing light
Is truth manifesting?
Η ελπίδα κλαίει, αναμένοντας ειρήνη Hope is crying, awaiting peace
