Tsunami of Greed

Hades*, some have decided to enrich, with 

The souls of the poor**


For


The mighty greedy people of this world, may

Preserve their fortunes!

* Pluto, the Underworld
**One, for better to evaluate this Epigram, should have 
a look at my poem “ Greek Tragedy” posted on the 15 of July.
There I present a number of facts, concerning the financial crisis
of Greece. The facts are also presented by BBC today.
Here I only mention the confirmed 10.000 suicides that
took place in Greece the last five years. To the memory of those 
people, I dedicate this poem.

Eileen Manassian Date: 7/19/2015 1:49:00 PM My heart bleeds for Greece. My brother and family just came back from a holiday there and they enjoyed it so very much. They said the people are so kind and friendly. It's so sad the country suffers from financial problems. O Theos Mazi Sas!!!

Happy your Brother's family enjoyed their stay. Thank you for your empathy my dearest friend, Eileen. God bless you!

Tim Smith Date: 7/19/2015 11:02:00 AM Many only see riches and not souls. As long as there is money to be made they don't care how it is achieved.
