Hungrier

5/3/17


The world getting hungrier
Times getting uglier 
And bloodier
Compared to animals, have people always been nuttier?

Needs growing
And greed showing
Far from easy going
Regardless of what you read and are knowing
Better keep going

Above and underneath the counter
The pursuit of power
Each and every second, minute and hour
Resources being sought out and devoured

Has it always been this way
Who is to say?

At a high frequency
Since the beginning so much secrecy
And not nearly enough decency
As the scales often tipped unevenly

Continually tilting
Near or far, above within and below any building
Who cares if it was thrilling
Too much senseless killing
It's beyond bone chilling
