World stupidity...

 What is this world becoming?

The wealthiest individuals make decisions that are truly astonishing;

Grand universities, and they have mastered the art of demolishing.

Mental illness is evident without treatment,

Presidents and leaders make this phenomenon frequent.

Countries are inventing things that are unnecessary; depleting resources, and we are killing our sanctuary.

Here is a tiny sample:

With focus, you would see a pretty good example.

In 2027, a $5 million to $28 million space hotel,

Yet we have 100 million people on Earth without homes who are anxious & unwell.

The U.S. spends $21 trillion on a doomsday bunker built for the elite, 

Yet we have 343 million people on Earth facing food insecurity and hustling on the street.

China spends 60 billion CNY on its own space station with a cape,

Yet we have 370 million women subjected to worldwide rape.

Pakistan requests a loan to obtain weapons of war,

Yet we have 64 million people suffering from substance use disorders with no hope in life, stumbling to the bar.

A Saudi Arabian man opens a zoo and brings a lion in his home for grandiosity,

Dubai spends millions on useless entertainment undermining the real-world atrocity.

World peace can be achieved by a touch of simplicity; actions can be taken by utilizing a concept called humility.

Intelligence can be demonstrated without publicity,

But how can the world progress with governments and wealthy people exhibiting such stupidity?
