In this contagion poem

In the mindset of a materialistic age,
in this contagion of want,
and need over everything else,
in this war of greed,
in this inequality,
and in the poverty,
where is the humanity these days?
For rarely seen it is,
rarely seen at all,
and life, life because of finance it is crushing,
crushing mostly and abysmal,
and not much good,
and certainly not filled with happiness at all,
and how sad it is to see,
so many people suffer because of money,
and how sad it is to see,
so many people die for the want of it,
and after struggling in their lives,
to acquire as much as they can,
and working far too much,
and not earning as much as they should,
despite all the hours worked,
and the unhappiness of so many jobs,
that do not bring happiness at all,
and how tragic it is,
that so many people sadly suffer,
because they do not have a roof over their heads,
and are rarely able to feed themselves at all,
yes, this world it is sick,
and the worlds priorities are back to front,
and our bank accounts,
and material things,
they are to most people,
of much more importance,
than people starving and being homeless,
and a travesty it is,
how we delude ourselves,
and allow ourselves to be deluded,
by materialism and material things,
that we mostly focus on only them,
and we seemingly do not value people's suffering,
and misery barely at all,
and what great pain there is inflicted upon us all,
and how likely it is because of finance,
that great civilisations will fall,
and how many people will die because of finance,
yes, isn't it awful,
yes, it is, truly horrible,
and really, shouldn't we rethink our priorities,
shouldn't we rethink them after all?
Life,
work,
finance,
happiness,
and the balance and the imbalance,
and the suffering,
because of the inequality of it all?
