crying on the internet

i sit in front of my computer
tears running down my face
a three years old documentary of the west bank and gaza strip.
the world is lost
people cannot make things work out for the betterment of everyone,
not even for the majority.
power is corrosive and corrupt.
this is perhaps known by many, maybe those in powerful positions,
their struggle, it seems,  lies in maintaining their position of power and self promotion.
how many times have those who have been entrusted by the people
who have elected them to bring about change
become absorbed into the game of political survival.
to the point that these important voices who represent the voiceless
become voiceless themselves.
it is a natural situation but it is killing any meaningful change around the world.
we cannot rise above this as a human race.
find no sense of common dignity to make the decisions necessary for our own survival
on this planet?
Really humanity it seems obvious to me that your are not ready for this huge lift.
That we are destined to meet the fate of those dinosaurs we lean about in grade school
those same dinosaurs that inhabited this earth for hundreds of millions of years.
we will not destroy the earth.
we will make it impossible for humans to live on earth.
we thought we were so smart.
