Where is our Humanity?

Do you try to ignore and hide
Spending thousands on each desire
Clinging to your pride
While the world goes up in fire?
Do you really feel pleased
Tossing out a dinner plate still full
Turning your back on them with ease
When millions are grateful for a handful?
Do you not fear your death
Prioritizing your infinite wishes
As people take their last breath
Hooked out of the water that is life like fishes?
Do we have no shame
In causing world-wide insanity
Shouldn’t we take the blame
Where is our humanity?
