Who Wants Cake

I wonder why greed runs so rife
why do people want so much
it's caused society untold strife
the blinded egotist who needs a crutch
putting illusory money before cherished life
which should be treated with a tender touch
not bleeded with a golden knife!

Sad but True... especially in political arenas. Greed is always found where the money flows.
