Reclamation Confrontation

I heard about a rumble that erupted on the road 
Between the king of poverty and king of overload. 
A reclamation confrontation for the moral ground 
They laid away in apathy when truth could not be found. 

The kings have gathered those who mattered for a final fight, 
As greed is freed to bleed upon the public streets tonight. 
Go read the books of prophecy, you'll see the end is near,
As kings of good fight poverty along with greed and fear. 

There is no way to say today exactly who will win 
But if you are a betting man then place your bet on sin. 
Both rich and poor will lose the war and then they pay with pain; 
For mankind tossed his soul away to maximize his gain.
