I work afternoons in a high school library and can surf the shelves for interesting reads... I just opened the book "Natural Capitalism", and to my pleasant surpise, discovered this brilliant and relevant poem...
"Loaves and Fishes"

This is not the age of information.
This is not
the age of information.

Forget the news,
and the radio,
and the blurred screen.

This is the time of loaves
and fishes.

People are hungry,
and one good word is bread
for a thousand.

--David Whyte
