Sense Sonnet - Acher

Bad Choice

If o'er the last two hundred years,
The world resources spent on war,
In which nobody profiteers,
Instead was spent finding cures for
Diseases plagueing humankind.
And sharing with the world all round
Whatever cures that we may find.
All together we should be bound.
The humans who have not, at least
Should get the cures the haves have got
For physical ills of the beast.
Have humanity, wars have not.

To cure all world disease, we could.
But by nature we're bad, not good.
