Driven in Greed

Just like it sounds.. our world has become driven in greed.. another change needs to happen here.

Please throw down all of your weapons;

let the meaning of hate come to an end.

We need to make big changes and heal;

give our enemies flowers.. start to mend.

 

Does war ever bring about really good changes;

save that thought for the dead and dying in vain.

For if a third world war did truly evoke;

no flag will be left with victory to proclaim.

 

Really think hard on what needs to happen;

centuries of wars taking so many just too dear.

Have we learned anything from all of this;

if we did ..why are rich and poor living in fear?

 

This CAPITALISM game is driven in greed;

so only the RICHEST will ever truly succeed.

Leaving us left with only to pursue a NEED;

to send our own POOREST loved ones to bleed.

 

CAPITALISM = RICHEST NEED POOREST

I suppose capitalism does transform society into this, but man has never found a balance. Communism went wrong, and not many other systems make life equal. I am not sure it is possible to be equal, because the strong assert their dominance, and use their skills. We can hardly Blame them for that. There is no doubt that this system must change, but the question is how. You bring to like that great necessity for change.

OK! Enough of the finger pointing. I get it. But remember more wars were fought for religion than for capitalism. Still, your devoted to your thoughts and seem to work hard to set them down in verse. Keep it up. Thanks.

Wow! This is a poem that screams! It is amazing. The human race has never found a balance...We'd all live better lives if there were no wars.

Dear Lisette,

Your philosophy calls out for truth and when
I find it I will let you know.

As usual your poetry is first class, written in great style.
You demonstrate a wonderful gift for writing, talent and
depth of consideration. The imagery is outstanding, it flows
smoothly and generally all is proportionate.

Thank you for another lesson in literacy.

oh dear lisette ,how you strike on lead when its very hot..
these are issues daily argued in this very troubled world.taken by such violence
that will make you tremble and shake,are we really human to see all this blood shed
and we just stand looking ,whats wrong with this world..i have read history a lot ,
wars and violence will never bring calm and peace to earth no ,never,it will just make it worse
is it nice to see all the bloody scenes daily in the news,no one will benefit i assure anyone that is sane
peace is what we need,if we are considered really civilised humans,or else we are just barbarians
each will boast with how much weapons he stacked in his arsenelle,they never knew yet..
its all to no benefit at all..we need to talk ,communicate ,understand ,extend our hands full of of love and understanding
toeards each other ,we are all the same,its the same blood flows in all our vains..
how i love your writings ,makes me full of hope,a peacemaker you are my dear
and its what we need for sure..
lovely write..
