Greed

Greed

If humans could bleed oil we’d turn china into a flood

The motor of the world running on black blood

And even if the scales were fair you’d never be paid

Because the substance of a soul can’t be weighed

Fidelity’s ghost is gone forever more

Replaced by the mouth of a greedy whore

You show me the money and we’ll decide what’s true

Because a firing squad sees only one point of view

ahh thank you....

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
