Greed feeds the cliché: nice guys finish last,
there is little appetite for the truth.
And do-gooders are constantly harassed,
a lesson taught to intolerant youth.
Facing a future anchored in the past,
folks are cruel, arrogant, and uncouth.
Yet, their conscience, every once in a while,
assigns a moral value to a smile.
