I like your poesy, dear Barry.Glad to see here Fabrio adressing you to participate in the next effort of the group. It happened just by chance to fall upon your poems.Glad to.

A silent God? I suppose he can be easily sensed when we're involved in quiet reflection and observation of nature and the world in our ordinary life. Nice expression here.

..... As Oxfam says, the 'explosion' in the wealth of the super-rich has come at the expense of the majority and particularly the poorest people. A key trend is the falling share of national income going to workers in almost all developed and most developing countries. And the majority of low paid workers around the world are women. Tax havens, used by the rich and multinational companies, are fuelling economic inequality and preventing hundreds of millions of people lifting themselves out of poverty. In such a context, hundreds of millions of people go hungry while resources that could be used to help them are sucked up by those at the top of the wealth-piramid. To reverse all above: - workers have to be paid a living wage; - the gap with executive rewards to be narrowed; - end to the gender pay gap; - compensation for unpaid care; - promotion of equal land and inheritance rights for women (in many parts of the world women have no rights!) : - governments have to take action on lobbying; - reducing the price of medicines; - taxing wealth rather than consumption; - using progressive public spending to tackle inequality. ___________________________________________
