No More to Spend

How easy it is to kill,
So simple to destroy-
The Earth,
The Water,
The hearts of humankind.

How easy it is to hurt,
So simple to break-
The hope,
The trust,
The bond between you and I.

Yet you care not
For any plea
Nor heartfelt cry,
Not without an attached
Bargain and dollar sign.

The people's pain
Fuels your greed,
Our isolation
Leaves you satisfied
And waiting for us to die.

Will the earth be yours then?
Will you know true love then?
Will peace never leave you then?
When there is no more to spend.
