Dear Editor
My tears are for all children, women and men who are suffering extreme poverty and starvation.
My tears are for all animals, birds and wildlife.
My tears are because of all the cruelty and the destruction of trees and natural habitat.
But my tears are not tears of despair, they are tears of knowing how different things could be.
We have allowed a relatively few powerful financial organisations to control and exploit – with unbelievable callousness – people, animals and the natural environment for their private profit.
These same people created the biggest financial mess ever seen worldwide and are now passing it on to everyone.
This “system” must be changed.
Wealth created by the work of people must be used for the benefit of all people; we would then be able to deal with all these terrible problems.
