Maybe Society (Free verse)

As economies and commerce continue on
society's standards continue to rise.
We speak and we walk while
terrible things
(maybe)
continue to ponder during halcyon days.

Nuclear, biological, and chemical
warfare
cover our Earth and produce
disaster.
As Fritz Haber's discoveries are
(maybe)

unintentionally and positively

benefiting
us all.

I sit and wait
at the edge of my chair,
as North Korea
(maybe)
threatens for
a nuclear war.
Oil spills, marathon bombers,
and pacifist killers
scatter over the news
while Syrian civil wars go unheard.

Societies care for only what they want.
For each others, not so much as it seems.
"Love thine neighbor" does not work for
even christian societies.
We pretend to care in our luxury chairs
but we honestly just want more money.

I have a dream that three score and twelve years ago,
that when the
US
bombed Japan after the harbor of the ouster
the outcome was much worse.

Before you start an internet flame war
this isn't because I dislike the Japanese
but only because if that were to happen,
our societies today may value the things that
kept the human race going.
(Maybe)
Societies would have endorsed the
destruction of harmful weapons

I sit, and I wait, and I hope for the day
that Einstein's words were never real.
That life in space is what we make of it
and that everything is very
(possibly)
real.

Society, dear society,
reduce the number of tragedies.

Fritz Haber was a German scientist during the WW2 era. He wanted the Nazis to take the globe and attempted to create biological and chemical weapons. He made many things that would positivly benifet societies, like modern day fertilizer. These inventions were unintentionaly created.
