INHABITABLE

.

.

The thin veneer of civilization we currently have 

Is not going to be enough to carry us into the future

I think we all can see that

The customs and manners, ethics and commandments of the past

Are not going to be strong enough to hold back the wild jungle

Of primitive emotions roiling in the level of consciousness

We currently have

We need enlightenend self interest to seep deep down

Like a century of the gentle rain of training to think

Differently

Empathy, kindness and practical goodness

Must permeate the human psyche until it reaches

The very bone and sinew of humanity

All minds need to see that rage, violence, and selfish behavior

Is inconsistent with the kind of society 

We want to pass on to the next generation
