Damnation
Damnation of mankind's greed,
Always after more and more of everything,
Marching to our own destruction,
Now we are fuelled by greed and lust,
Always so consumed we forget common-sense,
Taking so much from the earth and giving so little,
If we continue what of our children's future,
Overcome with greed we lose our humanity,
Now only we can be masters of our salvation.
By Christopher Tye
Inability to satisfy human desires, in other words greed is the cause to almost all conflicts humans are involved with. A profound message worth it's while.
