His heart

Why does Man want to explain
everything by reason?

Why does Man want to express
everything in terms of money?

His heart may feel something is wrong,
but it will be his mind that decides.

His heart may tell him that
he needs to help people in need,
but it will be money that finally decides.

His mind is dominated by thoughts
about money and material possessions.
His heart, that is full of human warmth,
is often not allowed to guide him.

His heart, that makes the world brighter,
is often forgotten or not taken seriously.

Yet, this world needs more heart.
It needs more human warmth.
The heart feels something needs to be done
about Nature, violence, misery and poverty.

Why let money dominate this world
and make real progress far off or impossible?
