Vicious Circle.


When I read this poem for the first time, I thought that it was written many years ago, but still fits in our cultural background; because greed is everywhere we go and everywhere we look. I think that this happens, because we, as human beings, have not change our behavior, in terms of personal success. The only thing that we want in our lives is having more and more material things, in order to be more “powerful and successful” than the person who is next to us.

The greed that corrodes us is guilty of all the poverty and injustice that exist in our world, because if we care a little in our “brothers and sister” (in God’s eyes) we would not be so selfish and we would not be thinking only in having things to ourselves. We will be worried in help others to succeed in the same way that I have succeed.

I really think that this will never change, because there are people that can not tolerate that their neighbor has the same things that they have, because the human being is always competing in having more and more. This is a vicious circle that will never ends.
