Troubled World Poem by louis rams

We are living in a troubled world where compassion has faded away
And more greed has come into play.
We know greed has been around since the beginning of time
And everyone wants to taste the grapes of a good wine.
We have to climb on others backs to get out of the hole
But once we‘re out let's take control.
We would all like to live a comfortable life, but only a small percentage will.
So we must tighten up our belts and pull the slack
From this point on there's no turning back.
If you have your five senses then you are fine
The sixth sense will take some time
The seventh sense is compassion, hope, faith and love
This is stronger than all above.
We are judged not by what we have, but what we do
It all depends upon you.
