Blinkered By Greed
Lots of hands held over a candle
In angst fuelled bravado this Winter
No prisoners taken will there be
For many young and old will splinter
Knowing this sadness could delve deeper
With our horizon blinkered by greed
To boost the coffers of the rich elite
Whilst others struggle with daily feeds
Is there going to be a way out of this
As the inevitable carnage that'll be left
Or will anarchy be the nail in the coffin
It's not nuclear that'll leave its reft.
