How, how in this world of want and need,
and abundant wealth and greed,
does the world not believe,
that there are better ways of doing things,
that do not decimate society and bring great poverty,
yes, how in this world of want and need,
and abundant wealth and greed,
does the world not believe,
that there are better ways to live,
and better ways to treat people,
that we do not currently seem to see,
because currently,
materialism clouds our view and brings about great insanity,
and brings about great suffering amongst humanity,
and great poverty,
and why,
why should it be,
this craziness,
this lust for money,
and constant wanting of anything of value,
that we seem to value above all else,
and certainly, value over human beings,
and how sad it is,
how sad it is to see,
and we are unfortunately far too blinkered in society,
and we, we see so many homeless people on the streets,
and how they survive, God only knows,
and it is a miracle so many times,
and no, they should not have to live in such misery,
and with such miseries as hunger,
and lack of shelter that blights their lives,
and of which they truly suffer such horrible ignominy,
no,
no,
no,
this should not be,
but it is sadly,
so, what will it take to change humanities mentality,
I wish I knew as many others do too,
and it is a terrible insanity this cruelty of inequality,
this inequality because of materialism,
yes, it is a terrible insanity that should not be,
no, it should be, but yes, unfortunately,
we have far too much on this planet of me, me, me,
but when will it end?
When we are wiped from the face of the Earth,
wiped from the face of the Earth by our own stupidity?
