"I expect nothing
From this society
Of hypocrites…"
You want to learn sadness. Look at the USA budget. We give close to 100 billion to countries for military spending. A lot of hypocrites are running our world. How do we stop them? Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Although individual, formal organizations, commonly identified as "institutions," may be deliberately and intentionally created by people, the development and functioning of institutions in society in general may be regarded as an instance of emergence; that is, institutions arise, develop and function in a pattern of social self-organization, which goes beyond the conscious intentions of the individual humans involved.
As mechanisms of social interaction, institutions are manifest in both formal organizations, such as the U.S. Congress, or the Roman Catholic Church, and, also, in informal social order and organization, reflecting human psychology, culture, habits and customs, and encompassing subjective experience of meaningful enactments. Most important institutions, considered abstractly, have both objective and subjective aspects: examples include money and marriage. The institution of money encompasses many formal organizations, including banks and government treasury departments and stock exchanges, which may be termed, "institutions," as well as subjective experiences, which guide people in their pursuit of personal well-being. Powerful institutions are able to imbue a paper currency with certain value, and to induce millions into cooperative production and trade in pursuit of economic ends abstractly denominated in that currency's units.[citation needed] The subjective experience of money is so pervasive and persuasive that economists talk of the "money illusion" and try to disabuse their students of it, in preparation for learning economic analysis.[citation needed]
Powerful photos..powerful write..but there are those who do give money, time..but the need is so great... and sometimes I think crippling...what better way for a country to control its people than to have them think they are dependent on this government for survival...
the one thing we can change is our selves..that is what I work at doing...dealing with what I encounter.. if everyone would do this..how long the change then?
honesty in poetry is brutal... your poem is lethal in its honesty and truth. But I choose to believe that this is not who we are meant to be. Well done!
