Yes, While Evil Spreads Its Long Greedy Hands
Yes, While Evil Spreads Its Long Greedy Hands
In this world wherein poets dare to live
A crazy place where evil flourishes
O' but tis it not true rich barely give
Honey and manna that so nourishes
Yet the greedy ones take all they can get
They screaming loud, "we must have more and more"
We are busy stealing our biggest score
Poet sees this and elaborates
About wickedness, unsatisfied greed
With poetic words what pure truth so states
Of the plight of the hungry so in need.
Yes, while evil spreads its long greedy hands.
Downtrodden organize to take their stand.
