Moral Bankruptcy

The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually.

 

Humanities’ morality erodes

Quicker than coastlines

Under the pressure of climate change

 

We have surrendered to ravenous greed

Wickedness is now an admirable quality

We hold nothing sacred anymore 

 

Taking is the only acceptable practice 

Giving back is the arena of fools 

Our elected leaders reflect how far we have fallen

I'm here after Dylan’s poem.
"We hold nothing sacred anymore"
I can see why a great poet inspired from an another great poet! This poem is deep

'OVER HERE! YO! OVER HERE!
we might be bored and angry rather than just angry.
there is nothing new or original coming from their boy
all talk absolutely no walk!
i personally take them to task everyday. there is nothing to fear! they kan and will be beaten down
and when they fall? ... let the beatdowns really begin

I want ringside seats when the a*s-kicking commences. Thanks Keith

Powerfully written, Mary! And a potentially, possibly even likely, outcome of present-day events.
Reminds me of Gordon Gekko's "Greed is good" in the movie Wall Street.

Thank you, Dylan, it's concerning how far we have fallen, and the bottom is not insight. Hoping for fewer bleak moments.

These are some sad, unfortunate words, but are mostly true. While I have endeavored to be a better person, many have no use for the straight path. I blame much of it on the media. Fox "news" is the most popular cable news in America, which explains why millions of Americans are so stupid.

Samuel, I’m exhausted by all this chaos. I pray for a return to a more balanced time. Failure to invest in education has resulted in the overwhelming amount of terminal stupidity we encounter hourly. Thank you my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

It is as you say indeed. I can't agree more.

[MCS]

Looking forward to the winds of change, this hateful period of history must end. Thank you Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree wholeheartedly. You are welcome in any period.
