Consumed By Greed

The social curiosity on display A pound of flesh becomes the pray I rather swing from the gallows, Then be sold like a pound of beef Fat and plump from all this wealth Thy corpse displayed in this filth Flies and maggots wait for thee Justice is hungry for people of greed Supply and demand shall decide my fate Yes, a wealthy man, without a need Burn thy flesh and cleanse thy soul, Indeed, I was consumed by greed
