Synthetic Civilization (The Sonnet)The watchwords of civilization,Are reason and inclusion.Yet we live by the golden rules,Of rigidity and exclusion.We dress up in fancy clothes,To feel powerful and important.Beneath the lies of civilization,Beats a heart most impotent.We boast proudly about equality,Unaware of our biases most inane.We admire the rights of our own,Rights of others are business of the UN.Enough of this make belief ascension.It’s time to humanize our synthetic civilization.
