Greed and Selfishness

I will take that and that and that too
Hand me everything, and quickly. 
I will take it all thank you, 
because my greed is fierce 
and I do not share.
Why would I? No one has ever helped me. 
You will hand it back right now
I am pulling out weapons to make sure. 
I am stockpiling and hoarding 
because I have to think of me, and only me.
No one else ever has.
I am living proof of that. 
Division is not something I will allow. 
These items will not be yours
I am keeping this entire shipment
for myself. 
 No one else matters.

Oh, dear. Yep, there's entirely too much of this attitude in our society, Caren.
