Did we miss the main cure?

For so long,
The main culprits were greedy governments,
Over supply of weapons, a few of mass destruction,
Desire to dominate, horde wealth, enslave mankind
To subjugate differences in color, race, gender, and belief systems.
The culprits were many;
We added problems of world dimensions:
Pollution, lack of potable water, dwindling of clean air…
Newer culprits were invented:
Lack of democracy, of steady emotions, and rational thinking…
For so long
The only communication between citizens and authorities
Was kicking asses, smashing faces, pulling hairs
Hording political “misfits” to prisons…
For so long
Young men filled with testosteron,
Clutching clubs, roamed earth
To tasting fresh breeds of cows.
For so long
We forgot to sniff a wild flower
Chase a butterfly
Hearken to the coughing of a bird at dawn
For so long
We failed to look up the moon and stars
Drank clear water of a stream cupping our palms
Heard an unrecorded bold laughter.
Is there a childhood to tending to?
Are there fresh lips to be kissed?
Are there serene pair of eyes to drown in?
Are there steady fingers to hold on?
Are there slender wastes not wrapped with bombs?
Have we been missing the main cures?
