So Very Strange

 

We’re very strange, indeed.

       We pay debt with more debt,

                     we wage wars while parading Peace,

      and feed hunger with greed.

                         So very strange, indeed

I think this is great. It's not too long, but it gets the point across very, very well. My favorite line was "we wage wars while parading Peace"
This is a great write!

Stark reality. The way of the world. Why, I wonder, upon seeing in black and white, the truth has so much more power to turn the stomach.

Strange indeed, my friend. I must always try to keep in mind that the people are not the "government." Even here.

Very nicely penned write N O so true.

[Blue Sky]

Can it get any stranger than all that!

Ah, a very brilliant line,

This is very excellently written with great sounding, all in all...yet written with fewer lines..
the message is tinkling with truth!! Shared a great piece!!

You certainly have summed up our current "state of affairs".....borrow more to pay debt, take more to pay debt, make war to bring peace, and if we weren't so greedy, we would certainly have less hungry people......well stated!
