Yep, I can tell you why so many people are starving
or addictive chemicals are consumed.
I know precisely why war rages
across so many parts of our planet
or why millions of people are being screwed.
The needs of the many matter little:
what counts are the profits of the few!
In the dark night of our souls,
we've forgotten about global stewardship
or long-term sustainability,
focussing instead on short-term pay offs
accruing to the glitterati.
