The ego, greed of the so-called modern man

The greed for power,
for more and more,
is growing worldwide,
like a merry-go-round:
Faster and faster.

The “weak” become weaker,
the “strong ones” even stronger.
The individual is left behind.
Money and power have already taken over
the role of world domination.

Where is there still room
for heart and reason?
Degenerate ideals are idolised
Society becomes dumbed
in its own swamp.

But let us be sure:
Change for the better will come,
possibly only after paying a high price,
when stupidity gains consciousness…
