Consumer Greed

They say the root of all evil is money Taking from everyone with their cunning I think most Americans would agree Their having trouble feeding their family Going to the grocery store is extreme Charging too much due to greed Don’t care about the people’s needs Paying too much to feed the family Gas prices are through the roof Making it expensive to go to work Work from home if you can To survive you need a plan The cost of living is destroying us Many can’t make it and are going bust Keeping are cars until they rust Survival for some is in “God We Trust” Property taxes cause rage Many can’t afford their mortgage Rents are out of control Causing many young adults to stay at home Interest rates are so high No one can afford to buy Businesses are closing locations After many generations What can we do to survive Being pushed forward due to pride Proving we are tough To stubborn to give up
