Greed Has Poisoned Mens Souls
Greed has poisoned men's souls,
has barricaded the world with hate,
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in：
machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little:
more than machinery we need humanity;
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,
the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass and the power they took from the people
will return to the people and liberty will never perish.
The Great Dictator, Charly Chaplin (1940)
