what is virtue if it's just another in a long list of standards [defined by humans] that take them farther from their innate "virtue"?

Respect and reverence for others is always needed. This is why the world is. People are used to predatory behavior & many are working to make it more equitable. The great apocalyptic world 🌍

Maybe you will like this

My American why’s

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

How the U.S. used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those people prance

And maybe they'd be kinder for a while

But the Persian Gulf made me shiver

With every news source I’d devour

Bad news at our doorsteps

I couldn't take one more death

I can remember how I cried

When I read about Americans pride

But something changed me deep inside

The day the people chose sides

=

So, why, why, this American cried!

Drove my Heart to The World, but The World was blind

And them not so good boys were spittin’ in my eye

Singin', "This'll be the day that she dies

This'll be the day that she dies.”

Did you see the looks of judge?

Did you shoot for faith in God above

If the Bible tells you so?

Now do you believe in love and soul

Can humans save our morals, Bro

And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with Him

Cause I saw you preaching of the sins

We both clicked off the news

Then I live those chasms and views

I was a lonely teenager humpin’ ruck

With a pink complexion & an Army Truck

But I knew I was out of luck

The day my battle buddy tried

I started singin', "Cry-Cry -Miss Liberty dies

Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was dry

Them good old boys were speaking

Freedom Inside

I was Singin', "This'll be the last day that I cry

This'll be the last day that I cry"

( transition )

Now for many years we've been on our own

And WEALTH grew fat on a spinnin’ stone

But that's not how it used to be?

When the FESTER sang for the king and queen

In a coat he borrowed from Times Obscene

And a choice that came for you and me

Oh, and while the Queen was looking down

The jesters grew its corny crowd

The boardroom was concerned

No perfect was discerned

And why Freedoms Bled, dumb like a Fox

Puppeteers practiced in the dark

And we watched movies in the park

The day human Kind died

And do you have love in humans above

If the logic tells you so?

Do you believe in lock 'n' load?

Can politics save your tormented soul?

And can you PLEASE

teach me how to Breathe real slow?

____

Hellish Belchers on the world shelter

the banks flew off with a bailout schedule

Rates sky high and climbing fast

It branded scowls on the middle class

The day traders tried for a forward mast

With the “FESTER” in the boardrooms in the past

Now, the half-wits BLAIR was sweet perfume

While the PLAYBOYS played a CHARGING tune

We all got up to parlance

Oh, but we never got the chance

‘Cause the PEACEMAKERS tried to take field

The launching HATE refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed

The day HUMAN KIND died?

I started SCREAMING',

"WHY WHY -Miss Liberty dies

Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was SLY

Them good old folks were speaking Freedom Inside

Singin', "This'll be the day that WE DIE

This'll be the day WE ALL DIE!

======

Oh, and right now , we are all in one place

All Generations lost in cyberspace

With no time left to start again

So come on, Attack be nimble, Attack be quick

Attack Trolls rage on a constant uptick

Cause hate is divisions best friend

Oh, and as I watched them on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

My heart broke open in hopes to engage

No angel born in Hell

Could break MISS Informations swell

And as the Claims climbed high into the Sites

to light the superficial spite

I saw Evil laughing with delight

the day my free speech died

He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Spy"

Drove my words to The online, but The online was sly

Them good old boys were

Spittin’ shadow bans & lies

And singin', "This'll be the day that she dies

This'll be the day that ONE die"

===

I am a girl who has worn Army Blues

And I freely gave all some happy views

But wealth just smirked and pushed me away

I went down to that sacred store

Where I’d known MY truth years before

But the pain there said the

humans wouldn’t stay

and in the boards, the children dreamed

Unkind bothers lied and the poets unseen

But no human word was posted

The brain cells all were broken

* And the three things I admire most

* The You, Me and the We

They took the last brain for the roast

The day Human Kind died

* And they were singin’ Hi-High, Miss Love A.I.

* Drove my brainy to the Query but the Query was a lie

And Them good old rich were drinkin water in the sky

Singin', "This'll be the day that they die

This'll be the day that Earth dies”

They were leaving’: “Bye, Bye Blue Marble Sky”

Road my wealth to the rocket, where to space we will fly

Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye

Singin', "This'll be the day the poor die"
