Hungrier

5/3/17 The world getting hungrier Times getting uglier And bloodier Compared to animals, have people always been nuttier? Needs growing And greed showing Far from easy going Regardless of what you read and are knowing Better keep going Above and underneath the counter The pursuit of power Each and every second, minute and hour Resources being sought out and devoured Has it always been this way Who is to say? At a high frequency Since the beginning so much secrecy And not nearly enough decency As the scales often tipped unevenly Continually tilting Near or far, above within and below any building Who cares if it was thrilling Too much senseless killing It's beyond bone chilling By: Dalton Ogletree
