THE BARBARISM OF CAPITALISM

The Barbarians are in total control,
Now that Free Enterprise is in fashion.
Nothing is to be provided, only sold,
Cold hard cash wins over human compassion.

No time in this new Dark Age,
To think about your fellow Man.
Too busy playing Slave to the Wage,
Pre-programmed by that Money Masterplan.

“Free Market” is truly “Dog eat Dog”,
As God’s image is devalued & deformed,
By the blind selfish Creed of Greed,
To just another beast of burden shackled.

Surely Man was granted to be wise,
Distinct from other creatures on this earth,
To turn this World into a Paradise,
And value Life for its sacred worth.

But somehow we’ve managed to lose,
Our ability to be moved by kind emotions,
Justice, Love, Pity, Mercy & Virtue,
Are empty slogans for abstract notions.

Can we ever regain that supernatural belief,
That it is better to give than receive ?
To become once again that divine fusion,
Of Flesh and Spirit called a Human Being.
