Dear Editor
My tears are for all children, women and man 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 having 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 benefits of all people: we would then be able to deal with all these terrible problems.
