We’re all given our daily bread
To not be satisfied and content
And desire for more
Is the true definition and meaning
Of being a whore
I want more
I need more
Be careful
The possession of one
By the spirit of greed
Often leads people
Down a slippery slope
Greed is the inception
The serpent presented to
Adam & Eve
Cause it’s like
If you can be wisе, knowing, and strong like God
Why be a human
That’s cluelеss, mortal, and weak
Greed does a lot of things
Like make one be ungrateful
Like wanting a second serving
Whether it be in money or glory
Even if the person’s plate’s full
Greed will make you hateful
Not so much to others
But moreso yourself
Like I don’t love myself
Until I can afford
That mansion, Ferrari
Chain and gucci belt
It tainted the hearts of colonizers
Who forced people to be slaves
It’s a never ending cycle
Because the more you earn and obtain
The more you still want to gain and chase
Greed is the spirit
That drove out indigenous folks
It’s what make CEO’s
Of Fortune 500 companies grossly
Underpay their employees
It’s what makes those with more money
Than they know what to do with it
Have a reluctant heart to help out those in need
Greed is what makes a person adopt the mentality
“Fuck what I can do for you…
What can you do for me?”
Greed is the reason
Why there are wars
Why some are poor
Why there is a drug trade
And sex trafficking
Exploit others
For your benefit
If lawsuits come abound
Money can pay off the settlement
It’s what makes a person
Backstab and betray
Their family, loved ones, and friends
Insufficient funds
Declined transaction
I won’t be satisfied
Until I get a lambo and a mansion
Not being in debt
Having people’s respect
Greed is the fabric of the Devil
But people like its fashion
