Annihilator Mind

Guard it

By Seema PatelPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Lived four decades on this Earth,

but sometimes,

I still fail to understand its logic,

as things don’t make sense.

A plane full of accomplished people,

fell to death,

worse than a nightmare.

Little girls,

doing summer camps,

swept away by a raging river.

And then there is a criminal,

who start fires,

and murders firefighters.

A father,

who was supposed to be the protector,

kills his little daughters.

Don’t tell me

vampires and Halloween monsters

are the scary ones.

No, it’s the humans.

The big, complex brain,

is getting darker,

as stress levels rise.

Please, do a favor

to yourself and to others:

guard it closely,

Let it not devolve,

into an annihilator.
