Tsunamis and this Thing Called Humanity

Tsunamis and this Thing Called Humanity

From the Oceans, Indiscriminate Devastation

Manuel Valenzuela

Millions of humans die prematurely each year not by tsunamis or
earthquakes, but by our exploitation of their lands and labor, by our
indifference to their plight as industrialized nations commit yearly
acts of economic genocide, as their nation's treasure is gobbled up
by banks and lending institutions, as their lands and their resources
are pillaged and raped, as their social programs are gutted to suit
the needs of America and other northern nations, condemning billions
to a life subsisting on two dollars a day, their talents ignored,
opportunity made extinct and futures oppressed.
