Shame
Shame!
The World is so developed!
Who said, and how?
Have they not heard the feelings
Of starvation in its heart;
Lo! The world’s crying,
Through the eyes of hungry mankind
Starving for food and clothes
And dying in our hands;
Lo! The world’s crying,
Through the eyes of slave children
Starving for love and compassion
And dying under our feet;
Lo! The world’s crying,
Through the eyes of suffering women
Starving for life and existence
And dying in our mind;
Lo! The world’s crying,
Through the eyes of lonely Creator
Starving for peace and harmony
And dying in our hearts;
And how the world can prosper
With the corrosion of our values;
And, moreover, how can it exalt us
As we enjoy our selfish riches?
