The Age of Greed

This the age of greed.
This the age of greed.

The strong have friends. The weak have none.
Persuasion’s mascot is now a gun.

Power rules here in hand with prejudice.
Childhoods stolen. Trample the homeless.

Helpless parents sold to loveless strangers.
Innocence burns in once sacred mangers.

Baby or buck? Wait it’s a fiver.
Bathtubs overflow. Thirst begs for water.

Religion an excuse to an evil end.
Rape the Earth. She can’t defend.

The cloth once revered, now a joke.
Twisted wisdom’s neck till it broke.

Minefields outnumber grounds to play.
Happiness gone. Moved far away.

Need to want and want to need.
Witness the conception of our greed.

This the age of greed.
This the age of greed.

Heroes enslaved by the coward.
An inch forward or a mile backward?

Caring is a corpse. Cold prevails.
Misguided ambition fills the jails.
Insane an excuse. Yours I ask.
Evil supreme behind a smiling mask.

Deaf prophets, blind visions, they flog the mute.
Got respite to their heads and about to shoot.

Tomorrow’s got hope but it must start with you.
You can change the future. What do you want to do?
