Iniquus

As the poor souls of Burundi toil. For a scant thirty-five cents each hour. Their lives are in churning turmoil. With an outlook bleak and dour. Yet, the wealthy reap golden spoils. To gild more Ivory Towers.

Burundi, Sudan, Ethiopia, the list goes on. Inequality is a hallmark of imperfect human rule. Equality for all is on the horizon - Matthew 6:10

Yes, iniquity. I was looking at pictures of these poor people and it was, My God what are we doing? $1.35 for one postage stamp in the States. 35 cents an hour. Tom, Thank You for the earnest comments. Keep Rolling.
