What a terrific poem, Craig. Conceit and self-importance definitely do lead us down a path of doom. Strangest thing the human brain and a powerful weapon of mass destruction when in the wrong hands.
A fitting and most terrific poem and the artwork is fantastic too.

Thanks for the wonderful comments, Gloria. I think I agree, someone made an awful mistake placing human brains in human hands (or heads). Cheers, Craig
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Limerick about humans that need someone to rule over them to keep them in order and playing by the rules that was made to have peace in the country.

I couldn't agree more. We lessen our chances of survival as a species by dividing into camps and nations. Thinking as One is the only way to steer this ship through turbulent waters. If all poets could be inspired to pass on the message, who knows what a difference it might bring about. Well done, CD.

Yes, Craig, since man is greedy. The more he has, the more he wants and will stop at nothing to attain it. Good job with your poem form today. Your picture + words make a great read. Good rhyme and smooth flow. Man will continue on blindly until the end. Then if those left will start again. Thanks for sharing. Jan
