Poor Man's Cries

The poor man's cries of despair are easily muted by the cheers of the rich and mighty!

Once again your philosophy is profound. The Governments of the world also waste billions and trillions on wars - when this could help humanity. Yes we believe in making the money but for a purpose - after all nature is cyclic and what we take out of the earth must be returned - for that's what we are here for and all is only on loan. a big 7+ for your thoughts

True my dearest, Maria! So true but greed renders people blind and cannot see it! Thank you so much!

I try to help whenever I can and give to many charities but every city street corner here is lined with people who have their hands out and that is just something I can't do. Nicely stated my friend.

I am in the same position my friend, Chris! Here I am talking about those who make billions and still wish to make more billions ignoring the suffering of others! I think it should be a law , as Plato, the Greek philosopher of the 5th-4th century BC has suggested: To not allow the rich to make too much money than a certain amount! Thank you for visiting and commenting my friend!
