Today’s prompt is enigma.
I don’t understand…
Why, centuries after man embarked on the ages of “Enlightenment” and “Reason” we are more devoid of both than in any period in history…
Why the least accomplished generation ever is the most over-documented and photographed…
Why we have devolved into listening only with the intent of waiting our turn to speak and ignoring what is being said…
Why we have so much ability to judge and almost none to evaluate and improve our own selves…
Why we continue to hate and murder in the name of “religions” that proclaim peace and love..
Why we use people and idolize things when we should idolize people and use things…
Why we harnessed the laws of Science and Nature to create pollution and weapons capable of destroying both…
Why we chastise those of color and then lie in the sun to look like them…
Why we chase the appearance of youth when we should be embracing the grace and wisdom of our years…
Why we idolize the wealthy celebrity and demonize the calloused hands of the working man…
Man truly is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, surrounded by a puzzle.
I don’t get it..
