Vulture culture

Let us rejoice with our culture
Be materialistic with own selves
Forgetting social negates on poor prey
And just watch like a vulture.

Let mal nutrition and starvation
Torture pure souls of downtrodden
We should enjoy with fun and laughter
With so called progress and automation.

Let there be fetus or early child deaths
Out of agony or social demarcations
We should only be silent watchers
Worrying only about our own breaths.

Let people die out of hunger pure
Looking at us with expectancy of love

God is taking care of all such problems

We are highly cultured for sure!

Brutal irony here, manoj, in this sardonic poem that rises to a Swiftian indignation. You got my blood boiling early today. Thank you for this one!

A perfect capture of the deceit of greed and comfort. Thank you for this reminder. It certainly tugs at the strings of my heart this morning. God Bless.

A biting poem, Manoj! And timely. So much of this world's time is spent in the pursuit of the valueless - and such is an investment in nothingness which impoverishes all those who so invest. Amy is spot on - we are God's Hands and Feet.

By the way, your cute icon does make me smile so.
