Greed

Location

Take this, the beast.

That refuses our eyes

And refuses to see

The crime.

So deep, so sly

The antagonist that creeps.

Deny our hearts,

Aching for our fellow man.

Robbing him.

Enslaving us in shackles.

We pluck it's hair

And watch as it cackles.

Take this, our voice

With words that fall on ears so deaf.

Ignoring the woes

Crying out in vein.

Our wealth, our health

Taken through filth

Who feed this beast.

Never slain.
