Is it possible to sit pretty watching the plight of millions
of our brethren living lives of abject poverty inflicted on them by an economic
system that caters to the scientific exploitation of the masses by a handful of
gluttonous capitalists who drain the very life-blood of the people who are the
sustenance of this world, the proletariat, the teeming millions who by their
labour, sweat and toil grind out such ill-begotten profit for their unscrupulous
masters that masquerades as bleeding charity to stifle the soul of man? Is it
charity then that draws water from the Ganga by the gallons only to later sprinkle
it in measured drops to the waters again while the wide world applauds
unthinkingly the magnanimity of the philanthropist? Is it rightful ownership of
the world’s resources denying the basic rights thereby of decent survival of
the masses solely on the basis of superior manipulation of means for ulterior
ends of exploitative profit that leaves the consumer bereft of means and means
the death of humanity? What worship of Mammon is worse than this that obtains
this day, what pitiless profit that crushes the hopes of hungry hearts seeking
succour in the desert of life? I ask ye all, do reflect awhile and see thyself,
thy mirrored self in the glass within and come to terms again with life that
all may live with a free, fair share of all that is in Nature’s care.
