Depressions, wars -- spring from greed.
A world perplexed? Its only need
The lowly Galilean's creed
Be lived today.

Men boast their might has brought them wealth,
The creature comforts, fame and health.
Then all is gone as though by stealth.
Do they forget

"That man lives not by bread alone"?
Through fallen nations this was shown.
And though today it still be known,
We blunder on.
