An aspect of humanity that triggers my outrage
Is the millions wrestling to survive – the Triple H
The homeless, the hungry and the heartbroken
Burning in a hell on earth and left smoking
Saddening that some people live on the street
Pressed to the corners like the world’s trying to delete
Meanwhile vast wealth is stored by the elite
Yet poverty is nowhere near to being obsolete
Maddening that “third-world” children struggle to find food
As their lands are mined for minerals and drilled for crude
People dying from starvation with no crumbs on the plate
Elsewhere, fat cats undergo surgeries to lose weight
If justice was granted, the innocent wouldn’t be wronged
But they are forsaken to feel like they never belonged
Can society be deemed successful if so many are ailing?
Damning reality is that the whole world is failing
As mother nature is outgrown by her human seedlings
Some seedlings shoot at the expense of their siblings
A survival of the fittest unlike any other species
Sucking life and blood out of fellow humans like leeches
K.G. says…
There are too many injustices in the world with a lot of them being man-made. One of them is the degree of disparity in wealth and opportunity among classes and nations. The very essence of human nature [ambition, greed, laziness, selfishness, etc.] means there can never be a ideal world for all. No social or political system can be put in place which is perfect for every person’s needs but it’s still a damning reflection on society as a whole that some people have to endure the worst of conditions.
The evolutionary theory of “survival of the fittest” in the animal kingdom gives a disadvantage to those born physically weaker. However, for human beings, that seems to have transpired into “survival of the richest”, and that is even unfairer. Does that make us worse than the other animals?
