The Seed of Greed

Many a man of wealth and greed

Of his morals he did concede

Without consideration heed

From the masses he chose to bleed

Up on high from his lofty perch

Within his heart denied to search

A golden globe his only church

Thus leaving the rest in the lurch

Now on the souls of those he preys

So blinded by his selfish ways

To keep them in an endless maze

From now until the end of days
