Greed

This is a poison
That eats away at man

It's careless
And reckless

It doesn't care for
People's dreams

It slash's
The out stretched hands
With out a thought or care

Why must we succumb?
To the hand that feeds us all

I talk about the politics
That destroys a person's
Will to live

How can they be so calm?
And take away our dreams

I say, stand up and fight
We can beat the system
If given half a chance

This I say in defiance
To the ones who broke a dream
I stand here for my mother
And I will start to sow her dreams
