Freedom and Greed
Life gives you many different reasons to smile
Reasons of love peace and happiness
You forget at times everything you have
At times all you see is the dark side
You take your freedom for granted
Without realizing what you have
You realize when it is too late
You have freedom to speak your opinion
To be yourself and reach your dreams and goals
Having the sky as your limit
Always believing that you are going to succeed
You finally open your eyes and look around
Waking from the dream world of peace
To face the real world of trials and hardships
For the first time you see your life for what it is
The world is so full of greed
greed based on money and powerful people
It starts when people put money before everything in their lives
Greed does eventually take your freedom away
Your freedoms in all aspects of life
Gets you into a bad spot in the world
Pushing away all your friends and family
You eventually feel alone in your struggles
Soon enough you get back on your feet
Enjoying your loved ones time again
Waking up to happiness and peace every morning
You continue to cherish all your blessings from then on
