The world
What's happening to the world today, why are we so greedy?
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.

And, as if by magic, at Christmas time we get a bit of a conscience and give small amounts here and there.

Indeed, this is true.
You might not know this but in a country where we have no-fee paying schools there are also feeding schemes.
If you are not familiar with the jargon that's in the line above please excuse the language but it's just that it's become ordinary speech for us.
Anyway, to get back to your point, all that can be said is the world has the money and resources but a few people choose to sit on them.

In a way, I blame extreme capitalism/consumerism. I saw a social experiment where a guy pinned 20 dollar bills to his suit and walked around downtown (I think it was New York) and told people if they needed money they could take whatever they wanted. A homeless person would only take 20 because that's all he needed to feed himself for a day or two. Then well dressed people (some in suits mind you) took several. It baffled me to no end.
Consumerism has infected the soul of society (for many). The more we have, the more we want.
Strong piece.
