Greed

Greed

A Poem by Donald
"

How does wealth affect people. Do they stay the same or change into some vile creature obsessed with wealth. Everyone has a choice when it come to money. Some do not chose wisely.

"

Some say greed is good.


I say greed is bad.


Greed causes poverty.


People sell their souls for greed.


They surround themselves,

with dead presidents,

with false idols,

with cold metal,

and cut themselves off from the common people.


They live on guarded estates,

from the rest of the world.


Consider this,

without greed there is no poverty.


One cannot exist without the other.


Eliminate greed and you solve poverty.


The rich consider the homeless eyesores.


They do not want to see them.


It reminds them of who they were,

and the rest of the world.


They want to see clean streets,

and happy workers,

that they can keep under their fat thumb.


Reality scares them.


Reality is truth.


They cannot hide from the truth.
