Hell Hath No Exit

There are people who believe others should not have as much as they
regrettably, they are many of the same people who employ us. 

They do not understand that sharing has universal urgency
those that share are holy.

Sharing is divinely ordered,
to not share has evil motivations.

Humanity reaches higher ground 
when it accepts that greed is not heavenly pontificated.

Greed is not good
it has its origins in the dark side of Man.

Think of the make-believe billionaire, the fake golden glitter CEO,
who steals from his employees to enhance his net worth.

Hell exists for many reasons 
one special reason is to expose avarice ensconced in heinous hearts.

Ultra covetous people
prosper for only a small moment in time.

But Hell is forever
and there is no exit.

There is plenty for everybody in this world
We can all be fed, housed, clothed and get medical care.

This world is big enough to provide for all living beings,
Together we can eliminate hunger, poverty and disease.

A new way of thought, a new paradigm, should be exercised, 
like putting away the old decadent ideas of greed that have failed.

Employ people’s minds and intellect to build a benevolent society
not to manipulate or destroy or for personal gain.

Manifest destiny, white supremacy is dead and no longer relevant
We do not need the old model of perverts who feel it is all theirs.

But to create a life that includes all living things,
human and non-human, everywhere on God’s green earth.

People will scoff and deride the new “Together We Make the World Better” idea,
as past benevolent ideas for people have been ridiculed and squashed.

Let us begin with a caring heart and an open mind
to feel the urgency of immediate change to the currently wasteful, social model.

In a word, think outside the current box of avarice, accumulation and privilege
those actions benefit the overfed rich not the countless poor who go hungry.

Think how to make living better for every living creature beyond tomorrow, 
into the next century, into infinity to preserve scarce resources and life.
 
Seek something new that will end people's desperation, do not waste 
give the world hope: think, create, build and share.

There are too many unnecessary deaths in a world selfishly ruled
amidst plenty. The question should not be how will it change, but when?

We should answer mankind's screams; "starvation is not Godly, it's inhuman"
Caring minds can change people's plight; Humanity needs your help now!
