Wealth of nations
should be measured,
in their benevolence
to the needy.
We share this
planet as brothers
and sisters, the
family of planet
earth.Sinful countries
who gather their
wealth niggardly, while
nations starve, will
face their maker,
and ultimate judgement
will be pronounced
upon them swiftly.
Standing idly by,
then feigning ignorance
before the creator,
will fall on
deaf ears, before
they begin their
long trek below.

Justice cannot be for oneside alone, but must be for both. (Eleanor Roosevelt)

That sure ought to get a fire lit under the behinds of the comfortable and the complacent! Well-stated!

I'm into Food Banks, myself. Fortunately I am able to be a donator and am not in the unfortunate position of needing to be a recipient.

Your words ring with the feeling of warning one feels when reading the words of ancient prophets of the old testament....Powerful words that should not be ignored...Well done...
