Half of Elon’s wealth could make all hunger disappear!

Ev’ryone on Earth could be fed for one entire year.

Perhaps that’s why all five of the world’s great religions say

to hoard wealth is NOT OK!

 

            Cap‘talism has replaced reli-i-gions,

            praising those who have the biggest i-in-comes.

            When did blaming anyone who’s poor or needs a hand

            become the norm across our land?

 

When will we wake up and see our own depravity?

When will we start treating others more compash’natly?

When will we stop letting all the very worst bullies

change laws and destroy countries?    

 

            Cap‘talism has replaced reli-i-gions,

            praising those who have the biggest i-in-comes.

            When did blaming anyone who’s poor or needs a hand

            become the norm across our land?

 

Shame on us for all our arrogance and all our greed!

If we don’t wake up now, then it will be too late, indeed.

Hell will not just be where we’ll go after we are dead.

We’ll create Hell on Earth instead!
