Superiority screams arrogance
And angers those who feel slighted,
Nothing will inspire an enemy more.
Clearly we do not learn from history.
The Roman Empire fell,
Ignorance was their downfall.
More and more I see this in us.
Obviously we’ll blame it on human nature,
Never looking back at past mistakes.
It is our way…someone else is always at fault.
Offering an olive branch is seen as weakness,
Undermining our moral standing.
Surely I had hoped we were smarter than this.

You did well to get such a great poem from such a long word !
Thank you my friend…this one was a bit difficult.
Nicely done, Dom!
Thank you Kunal, I appreciate you saying so.
Sure, Dom!
Surely,we forget too soon…
Yes we do…unfortunately.
