The Era of Greed
Ye old man can never show
What it’s like to let things go
For he of tender age will say
“I need all that, I want today”
Then take it now and never return
I’ll pray for you one day you’ll learn
But this is not the way it went
We have never earned what we have spent
Still, we want what we cannot
The further we reach, we take the lot
Has all of this been just for greed?
That egregious monster we all now feed.
