Spiritual Starvation

At the heart of the world today Slithering in all manner of pomposity Selfishness has impregnated the human race Poisoning the well lubricated womb of humanity Injecting the most powerful and wealthy With a potent illicit drug of egoism And subjecting the poor and vulnerable To a world of poverty and disease A life full of misery Selfishness occupies the highest seat of human reasoning Cultivating corruption, deceit and moral degeneration Opening a rift between the poor and the rich Inflating the balloon of inequality And bringing hopelessness to the dining table of the middle class It is this epidemic of selfishness that has decapitated the strong body of humanity Unleashing an era of spiritual starvation
