Behind the eyes
that are blind to love,
deep inside the hearts
that no longer feel,
lie the greed and hate
that inflict the world,
with the wounds
that never heal.
In the lives
of those who suffer
in poverty, in vain,
Within the souls
forced to survive without,
live the seeds of our destruction
they grow there and so they remain.

So very sad...but sadder still is the truth is in your pen and the guilt is ours...collectively.
