The Terrible Sixth

When I was young and went to school,
Philosophy had a basic rule,
To be a happy girl or boy,
There were five rules you'd employ.
Health was probably number one,
Adventure was to have some fun,
Financial security was number three,
Love was there to set mind free.
Finally, to fill the bill,
Recognition I imagine still.
Now, from nowhere comes number six,
Frankly, for me it's there for kicks.
Some folks are taught another toy,
Murder and mayhem to so enjoy.
I can't say nay, it's not my bend,
Suffice to say, it does offend,
My many years, I haven't seen
It sneak upon the present scene.
For those who practice slaughtering,
Insanity is what it's bordering.
If the world I had to run,
Senseless killing would be done,
Despots all would cease to be
Bestow to all sweet liberty.

Oh Norm. what a thought provoking poem
You know you're right. They have added number six to this madness....if someone doesn't do something quick......there will be no one left!
I certainly wish you did rule the world, Norm
that would be my first request. Please stop
all the killing.....if only you would be willing!
What a wonderful write
