People Puzzle Me

This becomes a deep, religious/philosophical subject for me because I am dead stunned by what we as a species are going through from generations past to the present.

In the 60's I, and many of my peers, confronted the issues of our day. Prejudice, poverty, ignorance, xenophobia, war, etc.

50 years on, nothing has changed. How is that possible? Who wasn't listening? Why wasn't all this passed on? Who didn't consider it important enough?

Are we trapped? Forced to re-live the past because something wants us to?
 

There are so many other issues not being addressed, it's time to drop all the already-hashed stuff and make the necessary improvements.

Why do I keep I hearing about stuff that should already have been settled? What does it take to get the hell past it?

Do we all really enjoy repeating gone-through conflict so much that we have to ignore the important stuff?

Do we enjoy playing fool to some greater god? Do we like keeping our heads tucked between our legs THAT MUCH?!

Who gets to be the first to stop the repetitive behaviors that make us all look like idiots?

I've already seen what we're trapped into doing, so I'm standing in wait for that one who will end the cycle. Then the next and the next until there are no others left.

We, as a species then, will move on to address the stuff that really matters.
