Fighting For Scraps

Fighting for scraps

It’s so puzzling for the needy
To understand how we got so greedy

They had it all to share
No walls or borders back there

They didn’t appreciate, it’s so sad
That they allowed the lie to drive them mad

The more they wanted the less they had

No need for roads or maps
Mankind’s fighting over scraps

The more you crave the more you lose
He’s left it up to you to choose
