GREED






Prosperity Could Run Through The Skies: Even Into Outer Space

Wealth Might Increase In Magnificent Rate
But With Men’s Greed, Within The Twinkle Of An Eye
All Will Come Crashing Like A Weak Crane


You Wonder Why Many Rich Land Lay Barren
Many Beautiful Gardens Turn Garbage Grounds
Why Many Children Grow Thin While Their Land Is Ladened With Milk
That’s The Trick That Gluttonous Men Play; It Called Greed


The Greedy Man Would Rather Die With Wealth In His Tummy
Than To Vomit The Bail Out Whose Absence Has Crippled The Economy
It’s A Sad Story: For The Greedy, It’s A Happy One
If He Has Swallowed Enough He Still Thinks Of Hiding More


The Root Of Mens Inequality
Originator Of Excessive Suffering
Stealer Of The Gains Of National Struggle
Mens Greed


It Considers Not
It Pities Not
It Hath No Mercy
Always Joyous In Plundering

Greed Never Knows Little Can Be Managed
Always Wanting All Things To Its Advan+Tage
Many Men Has Hugged This Beast
They’ve Created Room For It In Their Soul, In Whose Four Corners They Feast

Align Your Soul With Great Discipline
Look To The Creator Of All Things
Never Seek To Create All, To Own All
For No One Can, But With Consideration Everyone Will “Have’’

Align Not With This Beast

It’s Called Greed!!!!

THE JOURNEY

Life’s a journey Trail the path; Though you will walk through the bush that’s thorny, Even sail through the sea that’s stormy And in darkness; you will need that Light It’s the Word that speaks right So you don’t become overwhelmed by that plight Just be led by that Captain, Whose faith can help you move mountains He will guard you By Him, the Earth was laid as a mat And the heavens; spread as Blanket Get your mind ready You will need to guide it steady Seal it; from those who will fill it up with perfidy Open it to Imports from the Word of Life; it will help you achieve your destiny Today could bring you rain; Enjoy quite well with discernment and Ears to the Spirit Coz Tomorrow might yield drought, and your soul could grow weary So be wise along with enough Simplicity.

THE SOCIETY AS A CAUSE AND SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF DRUG ADDICTION

BACKGROUND Society is a network of persons interacting within a geographically sovereign area, with unique culture, social institutions, values, Norms, roles, and sanctions governing each other’s behavior. This phenomenon is definitely the basis of individual behavior and personality development as deeply believed by Sociologist. American Sociologist C. Wright mills; stated that to understand the nature of individual behavior, the best context to place the individual is the social context/environment; then we will understand the reasons behind his/her behavioral patterns and the “individual uniqueness” this is the core foundation of his concept of sociological imagination. “ Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both ” C. Wright Mills (1959). The Society has without a doubt been the platform for the offshoot of great developmental strides: in technology, science, literature, in culture, in globalization, i...
