GREED BEYOND



Which seeds you sow

They know not how

And how your crops do grow


Waiting in ambush

Your crops to feed on

Their mind beneath the highbush


You freeze your behind in cold

In degrees way below Celsius

Your future you try to mold


Like pestering locusts

On all your green they pounce

To devour it all, at all cost


Of what to them you entrusted

They pledged much care to give

For you gave to them and trusted


Friends and blood kin alike

In the old neighborhood

At end you will most dislike


Receiving ten times payment

Smiling in your face, behind you grin

To build the same old pavement


Some have attained degrees

You think their greed be measured

Yet greed they pursue in higher degrees


Some to you cried loud

Pouring in your very ears

All what their lives did hound


To help is divine treasure

If you are led to help

Do it not beyond your measure

They dig holes in your pocket


Will a street be named

And lame men walk

And the speech be speechless

Because I erected mansions

Cruising in 4 wheels

In pot holes and trenches
