The following poem was inspired by this article recently written by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11288744.
We the People
Have come to the conclusion
Hunger
Madness
Agony
This cycle of destruction
Is all too much for us
Unacceptably inflated
We must rise to put it down.
Ideas? Why
Whatever do you mean?
It is wrong,
So bitter wrong
But that is all to say
We wish that it were
But have nothing to insist
The prices rise
The people die
And here we sit
These desks, emaciated lie
Between us and
The world.
The Waking Den 
Such truth.
Great poem
Amazing how what so many do, unwittingly or with good intentions (or bad), in many instances affects the suffering of the world. Agree with Kseverny, great poem.
awesome words…
