Power, Greed, Arrogance

Power
  Some will lie for it
  Others even die for it
    I prefer to shy from it

Greed
  It wants to ruin you
  To destroy and consume you
    Never let it bloom in you

Arrogance
  Don't become a snob
  Man's dignity do not rob
    To be humble ~ That's our job

Great... I'll have my attorney draw up the agreement, and we'll sign on the dotted lines tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., Peter Pan time. Thank you, Line!
