Greed

Greed,
Consumed the government,
That used to preach,
“Freedom for all”,
The same government that steals our 
money,And watch us fall,
Into false change,
That never rang,
Into burnt bills,
That has yet to be claimed,
By poor hands,That color stays the 
same,Black,
Brown,
Carmel,
And tan,
We sit,
Not stand,
For our money,
For our rights,
That is slowly being taken away from us,
By "The Man"
