Early Mourning

The evil green monster consumes the conscience of mankind.
More lethal than the worst drug on the market.
Greed creates ravenous souls, 
incapable of gratification.
Lustful endeavors with unsuccessful aspirations.
Physical nirvana is irretrievable.
 
Perpetual descent of morals and character. 
Independent contemplation? 
Soul searching for the common good?
The new endangered species:
an individualist who renders abilities for selfless contributions.
 
The desperation of humanity
starving for revolution.
