Power Hungry

Like we’re on a farm We chew on their arms It’s ok if you’re hungry We have more to eat It’s ok if you’re hungry But we’re running out of seats So get in line boy And make sure you’re first So get in line boy Try and fulfill your thirst They’re here just for you So take more than two Oh don’t you pout There’s no way we can run out It’s ok, we’re not the same We won’t share the blame And if it’s all the same We’ll change our names Our indifference Can be a fun game And as they lose their sense Their unrest turns to flame But there’s no need for alarm We can chew our own arms

Those who are power hungry will chew on their own arms and chew on the arms of others while having the audacity to ask for seconds! Truthfully written, a great message!...Milt
