Who is the giver – who is the receiver?

a poem by Remigius de Souza

We take ceaselessly but cannot receive,
Who then can help us?
Neither the priests nor our degrees

We give ceaselessly refutes and niceties,
But nothing creative.
We can only buy and sell commodities

In our non-tangible non-things forever,
Such as hunger,
Who is the giver – who is the receiver?
