Daily Moments Jan 7 2016 (Shame on you! -haibun)

Tournesol Daily moments, tanka 2016-01-07 1 Minute

Does greed alone rule the world? Must one make money on the sufferings of others? This is not a statement about being politically correct…no indeed! It is a cry of frustration and disappointment that, yet again, the greedy vulturesw takes over common sense, compassion and savoir vivre.

shame on you
worst kind of selfish vultures
make a fast buck
no concern for those hurting
seeking only their own gain

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

Cheryl-Lynn, just submitted a review on Amazon titled, “Huge Amazon Fail.” Don’t know if they’ll publish it, but hopefully they’ll get the message. Really bad decision on their part to sell this. Thanks for letting us know.

  Thanks to that amazing teenager in Calagary…I saw her interview on Facebook. I felt it necessary (like you) to not just complain about it but let Amazon know it slipped through the cracks (I’m assuming)

    Yes, hopefully they’ll take it off once they actually begin to read the reviews, which are ALL negative.

    Yes, I have read several reviews but writing directly to customer service gets quicker results.

Too many people think making money justifies just about anything, including Amazon. If they pull it, it will be a business decision, not a moral one. “Shame” indeed.

  Of course it will be a business decision but as long as they take it off, I guess.
