Corruption.

Since 1984 deregulation of our financial systems has seen an astronomical rise in corruption and deceit.

We are told to turn a blind eye to anything that boosts the economy.

And anyone who questions the integrity of the plutocrats is ridiculed and labelled a Marxist.

So exploitation and corporate crime have flourished.

But it is hidden in darkness.

And it is whitewashed by Evangelical Churches.

The gains made by Unions have been destroyed.

And the corporate-owned media has been flooded with propaganda.

Scapegoating and lies have become the norm.

And fake news has poisoned the Internet.

These are dark times.

But world-wide demonstrations are protesting our loss of rights.

And an increase in activism gives us hope.

There is a ray of light in the darkness.

May it become a bright star of truth.
