[In the age of High Technology, do we need the World War II
sound of terror in Police
Cars, Ambulances, and Fire Trucks?
How world can sustain Democracy
when
From dawn to dusk, night to morning -
Ambulances passing through city streets speeding!
Police cars racing with emergency lights flashing!
Fire trucks rolling through neighbourhood screaming!
Horrifying animals, children, patients with unwanted warnings
–
Reminding elderly constantly their time is nearing -
War-like sirens and scare just normal daily living!
Corporate managers busy running war rooms -
Brainstorming survivability in global rules!
Employees must take their best shots at the new bull* -
Staying on call with beepers, cell phones, being
mindful!
Fearing competition, job security for family and breads
–
Stress is normal like a doctor by the emergency bed!
Presidents-Prime Ministers get briefings of intelligence
–
Which country is advancing beating analyst’s estimates!
Downsizing, outsourcing, subsidies to trades –
Blame the peacemakers knowing peace is a
threat!
Identify leaders gaining stability in economic strength
–
Justify more military spending for national interests!
People at bars and clubs, looking for a smoking gun!
Children’s books to video games killing is just another fun!
In news, movies, television, gossips, and theatres –
Crime is dominant so is suspicion of terror!
Homeland security, Air Marshals,
Internet Fire Walls –
Bird Flu, SAR, Mad Cow Disease, War on Terror –
NGOs, Red Cross, Red Crescent, peace prize awards –
Peace Corp, NATO expansion, Weapons deadlier -
Normal life in our World is just readiness for another war!
