The Absurdity Of It All

Has it been over 12,000 years already?
When the time is right, perhaps  we  will understand a little better, but we have still not learned our lessons as of right now.  All our potential, all our abilities are tantamount to wasted talent. Man, have you still not figured out that war is juvenile and petty? Like kids at a playground fighting over rights to a sandbox or jungle-gym, our leaders squabble and bicker, point fingers, threaten and bully the weak; fighting over the stupedist shit. Where are the adults in the international forum, the U.N., or any of the three branches of American govenment? A president condemns the use of guns and violence at public schools, then sends UAVs, airstrikes, sorties and whatever else at the others, resulting in carnage worse than what he condemns - what hypocracy and cowardice!
Our leaders are YGs on the block, looking to assert their rep on the set - brandishing weapons at the rival blocks, who look to do the same. Punking the squares that look to mind their own business. Pimping the weaker nations out to the stronger nations. Strongarming, robbing, stealing and killing. Planet Earth has turned the Milky Way into a ghetto - the interplanetary dopespot, where humans look to expand their territories beyond the atmosphere. 3rd Rock Avenue pops off after dark - if there is life on other planets, they warn their young not to come down to the track. I can imagine they say something to the effect of "Muthafuckas on Earth be on one! Foos shoot anything that come too close to their borders - check out the transmissions from that planet. All they do is get their 'bang on! USA gang dont get along with Northside Korea. Eastside Europe pops off on Balkan Block. Neighborhood Israel Locos just don't give a fuck! You gotta watch your ass when you go down there."
Aren't we the advanced ape? We sent people into outer space - we have entered the space age. We can figure out what disasters wiped out what bodies of land. DNA testing is becoming more effective. We can clone, cure diseases and create technologies pleasing to the eyes, ears and soul. Our bodies are complex machines complete with supercomputers that put to shame the synthetic ones that we have mastered. We are capable and for the most part have a high IQ. We have mastered building, transportation, agriculture and industry - why then do we not grow the hell up? Our priorities are skewed.
With all we have accomplished and all we are capable of, we still can't let shit go. When our neighbors play the music too loud after midnight, we choose aggression over reason. We have words and arguments that we are more than willing to esculate to pushing and fighting, pumping our chest to assert our dominance as opposed to simply saying "what the fuck ever" and walking away. Extra-terrestrials are watching, waiting for us to grow up so that they can approach us without fear of what we may do. Hoping that we figure it out before we become a threat not only to ourselves, but to the rest of the galaxy, as our weapons and space travel technology improve. They have ample reason to fear us. Man and Woman equate to little boy and little girl, teenyboppers with guns and clicks. Finding improvements in destroying our own homes. Fighting over the stupidest shit. The absurtity of it all!
