Greed

Deafening silence breaks

As I watch the world’s

Unadulterated insanity...

I hear my voice cry out,

"Justice for humanity!"

Endless cruelty breeds in

Greedy ravenous souls...

Streams of oil

Pumping thru veins,

Where blood once did flow...

Riches, power and religion,

Promise of eternal bliss...

Men sell their empty souls

For a taste of the

Temptress with the poisonous kiss...

Earth drinks warm liquid of life

Spilled on its thirsting soil,

While evil taunts morality

Boasting another battle won,

With minimal amounts of toil...

Angels hover with wounded wings

Above the fallen human beings,

Shedding tears for fools akin...

Futility the revelation,

No one ever really wins.
