Rich and poor
This is a mad world
insanity in the highest regions
preaching and telling us what to do
abusing us citizens and believers
Creation is for sure I insist
not meant to be a burden
but a joyfjul happening instead
for everybody on this planet
Live and let live is in danger
and only because of
to soothe the money hunger
as also the powerabuse
When humans can live in peace
in concensus with their real being?
I hope it does not last until
death is calling to them
