an intoxicating bliss
some of us are not

feelings of much guilt
too many suffer horrors
yet nature numbs me

wenn eiskalt viele seelen
die menschheit schläft tief

Free Translation (self):
senseless the tears
if ice-cold the many souls
humanity is in a deep sleep
annual death of
3.1 million children overlooked
overeating self

The title of my post today cites the name of only one child fed to the insatiable greed for power donned day after day by too large a number of supposed leaders of nations.
