Theft of morality

Theft of morality

A Poem by Adam Parker
"

A woman in my town stole £24,000 from a charity that helped to provide a safe play environment for disabled people , I wanted to find out why

"
Egocentric centre centred around self ,
self help with selfish self-perplection,
Infliction of harm on others for material gain.
A time machine to a primative era-
are we still the same ?
The survival instinct lays dormant - a volcano bereft on conditions for eruption , its instinct sinks , but still prevalent .

The volcano forms a nation where people will just have to "
you know , find their own way"
where the justification to steal is balanced with self preservation ,
with self -sustaining salvation .
putting consequence to the back of mind ,
An outburst of middle class marginalisation SCREAMING
"Ooh we don't talk about those topics in our home"

A woman steals money from a charity in Preston ,Lancashire
that provided toys for the disabled
How was she able?
How was she able?
sifting £24 thousand for her selfish gain,
while it goes bust and can longer sustain the pressure on its shoulders
it's foundations crack , crumble and smoulder for the loss of hope , in that which is ourselves.

what is the answer for it?
Are we all like Zizek said , evil to the core ?
or do we have harmony in the shell buried under the shore?
I implore that you find out , but retain that it is human to be kind , and human to be selfish-
morality is a compass on which you place your own marks,
some are Nietchze than others , but it's just the start .
