? Abundance – do we take it for granted ?
We encounter it everywhere in nature
forests
fields
blossoms
snowflakes
Nature wallows in its wealth
And shares it with us
- much to our joy -
Abundance
- that depresses us -
Some people
and institutions
- are rolling in money -
They have more money
without having to work for it
than one person would need to live
Millionaires increase their wealth
thanks to an incorporated multiplying mechanism
We know it from mathematics
as an exponential law.
Abundance
- that makes us angry and sad -
The USA - Russia - France - Germany
are the top suppliers of armaments.
Airplanes, tanks, weapons, ammunition
built – to kill people
or to control them.
millions go hungry
children starve
Millions work for a pittance
not enough to live
but enough to die.
What kind of a future
do the rulers of the people
choose?
Do they vote for
power over
or
power for
?
