The world of greed, lies and deception

IS BUDDHISM THE ‘WORD OF SIDDHARTHA’?
The world of greed, lies, and deception by Paul Hess
The world driven by greed can have no ethics
It has to be based on lies and deception
Hence the truth is anathema to such a world.
Religions lie to their followers
Politicians to their voters and businesses to their customers
So much so, survival without lies seem virtually impossible
And to think we have created such a world is frightening
If you are truthful and honest, you are a ‘fool’ they say
And out of fear, we dare not speak or publish the truth
So, it is lies, lies and more lies
And the ‘Word of Siddhartha’ is sadly lost to a world of religions
Much to the delight of their ‘holy men’ who lie for their survival
Promising a tomorrow full of hope
Knowing very well, tomorrow never comes
And here we are, like the deer chasing the mirage in the desert
Running after hope, hoping for hope where there is no hope
No wonder they say ignorance is bliss
How else can we maintain sanity in this world of insanity?
A man unable to pay his debts and constantly harassed by his creditors
stuck the following notice on his front door probably inspired by religions.
‘I WILL WITHOUT FAIL SETTLE ALL MY DEBTS TOMORROW’
‘All believers are potential customers of the elixir of religions’
