Greed, Anger, selfishness, and Pride

A man is blinded by his own desires and is overcome with selfishness and greed

You want what you want
And take what you get.
You live your life
With no regret.
No ambition
Or goals you set
Constantly collecting
Unpayable debt.
You do what you please
To get what you can.
You're more of a boy
Than a responsible man.
You take no intiative
Or own your mistakes
You put on a show
And act like a fake.
If people don't bow
Or cave in to you
You throw a huge fit
And act like you're two.
You like placing guilt
On those you're around
For favor of you
And its quite profound.
Doesn't matter whos hurt
Or at what expense
It's all about you and what you can get.
Trading favors for favors
Not willing to give.
I hate this selfish life you live.
You take full advantage
Of those who are weak
You know they'll give in;
It's thier kindness you seek.
With no appreciation
For what you recieve,
You continue to take
With no reprieve.
If someone asks you
For a helping hand
You seem to be busy
Or its money you demand.
You dont stop to think
It comes back to you;
what you give is what you get
A million times two.
So continue playing games
I know you'll never win;
When its all said and done
You'll be alone again.
People you love
Will turn thier back,
They'll see what you are
They'll have felt your attack.
When youre old and crippled
Alone in your chair
You'll see what you've done,
What you cant repair.
Youre breaking trust
Pretending to need
It's never enough,
It's all about greed.
Does it ever stop?
Is there an end?
Or does it continue
To your dying bed?
You push people away
And you dont seem to care.
It's all about you
And how life isn't fair.
You need to grow up
Before its too late,
Or others will find
It's you they hate!

Thank you. I believe i fixed the punctuation now : )

Wow. The rhythm captivated me. One thing, the punctuation, is it intentional for there not to be an apostrophe's in particular words? Otherwise, this is a great piece.
