When Greed Takes Over Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The search for prosperity for all is halted
Inequality is expanded beyond the horizon
Life becomes a nightmare for the majority
Democracy is pushed under the carpet
Developments are sabotaged
Corruption is nourished
Politics is infested
By rabid human beings
Progress is frozen
Divisions are widened
Blood is spilled
Wars are common
Peace is vanquished
The spirit of humanity is broken
Relationships are severed
Love is rarely mentioned
Hate is magnified
Life is doomed
