The Greedy

The greedy have no compassion They stare with their steel looking eyes Rob and take for themselves To get the money they want With blank faces, watch others suffer Act corruptly, however they choose Laws do not matter to them Yet they get by, with their evil ways Disrupting others lives, caring for their own Without a thought what it may be like, If it were them in another's shoes Heidi Sands 5/16/19

The greedy and corrupt who you so aptly describe are very much present in our lives, Heidi! And somehow they seem to thrive, but I believe that Karma will eventually deliver justice. ~ Best regards // paul

They may win for a while, but it won't last.

What pleases me Heidi is that they can't take their ill gotten gains with them when they go. Tom.
