Humanity's insanity is manifested,
By valuing investment over the invested,
By allowing unfettered material greed,
To Trump our spiritual, physical needs,
How can we claim that we are the pinnacle?
That we stand alone as, "Creations miracle?"
That we stand alone as the, "Moral master?"
When money is how we measure disaster,
Tell me the value of each individual?
Tell me the cost in terms economical?
The weight of a soul in material stuff?
Is thirty pieces of silver enough?
love it keep on writing thank you
Yes, I think that's a bitter pill to swallow, once again, "We're all in it together." But this time, at least on one level, we genuinely are. A Pandemic doesn't care how much cash you have, how big your house is, or what car you drive, but it's how people act in these circumstances. It hasn't gone unsaid that we bailed the banks out 10 years ago and that some of that, "Love," needs repaying by them now, and people like Branson? Rich enough to look after his workers but instead lays them all off and tells them to apply for statutory sick pay. Well, while we're sat at home, not distracted by the day to day, we watch, we listen, we remember, and as far as I'm concerned he's got a nerve calling his company Virgin considering the amount of people it's f***ed.

The irony is that it is money that enables the research and the response when these unwanted natural visitations occur in life.
Wasn't it Stalin who remarked that one death was a tragedy whilst a
thousand was a statistic? Nature knows no barriers in reducing
life where it is most vulnerable for whatever reason. What stays in
my own mind is that this current plague is being fought with public
money from the small man/business whilst the vast wealth of the
tiny percent seems untouched and able to grant its owners power
and influence as a result in this manipulated "global world"..

Well constructed and argued. Some humans have a false value of what is important in life. Transient wealth takes priority above humanity.
