Part of Psalm 37 which seemed very appropriate to current world and political situations:
In a little while, those who live with greed
will prosper no more;
the darkness of ignorance will pass
as a new dawn enlightens the world.
The lovers of darkness shall perish,
while the humble shall inherit the earth, and find
delight in sharing its abundance with all.
Those who are greedy plot against the weak,
those without worldly power,
and rationalize their selfish deeds.
The Beloved watches patiently, knowing
they will stumble and have to face
their own downfall.
Those with power make war
despoiling nations,
killing the poor and innocent,
murdering in the name of peace!
O, if only they knew that their greed
will kill their own spirit;
their hearts will be broken.
How much better is the little of
those who know Love, than
the abundance of the greedy ones.
...
Those who are greedy borrow, using
money they cannot pay back;
the upright are generous and give.
Blessed by Love, they know inner peace,
but the selfish cut themselves off from Love.
