Greed

The big problem today

That lies in the self

Is the compulsive need for more

Even in bad health

It's become characteristic

In everyone's? souls

The chaotic search for more

Seems everyone's goal

It drives our workforce

Everyone's fingers to the Bone

And all the while working

We carry on as a clone

People hate what they do

But don't really care

The way things are happening

Is anything but rare

To spell it out

The problem is greed

We ride this high horse

Our faithful trusty steed

And so we carry on

Till the day that we die

We can't escape greed

The problem is inside
