Why are people fearing their own demise?
What is it about their current state of self destruction,
That gives them such ridiculous hints?

I am amazed they are afraid and clueless.
And rarely do I observe anyone blind,
Asking for assistance to cross a traffic packed...
And crowded street.
While those of clear vision,
Are afraid of their own shadows.
And the quality of life they have allowed to degrade!
Formulated and based upon 'their' highbrow standards.
And dictated as ideal and righteous.

Although the deceivers and their greed,
Have scurried to taint Burj Dubai.

Lawrence S. Pertillar
