You have struck a chord with this piece. Greed is the cornerstone of war and human suffering.

Well penned. So much tragedy on the Mother continent. Yet we must not give up our pregnant hope. Let us continue to work to "...transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows." Peace and Love, Millard Lowe.
