philanthropos(from telegraph to twitter)

Soros knows-the economy of orchards
when IDF bulldozes olive trees,it is to destroy the link to land
When China has to import grain,it boosts the price on minerals
More than scarcity economics is involved-in the Paris Commune,they ate rats
Horses went first,like those tales of mutinies @sea
drawing straws for who to eat next.Those blessed with crops
will be forced to sell them or be invaded.Water rights in Palestine.
War kills crops and starves civilians.Economies rot when the only sale is weapons
MacDonalds expands as a real estate Empire
Whole world is eating American(hamburgers)
Now the super rich are donating millions
They see beneficience in charities.
Perhaps micro-loans -more likely wells,livestock ,tools
For the Fourth World is hungry-they see the First
and want -cars,clothes,status.They barely own the land beneath
Will nominal philanthropy buy off revolution?
Or are these uprisings last attempts for economic justice
a democracy espoused yet unknown?
