Greed


Most would change the big problems on this planet

Poverty, disease, war, addiction

But all these things crawl from one simple part of man

Greed

It causes poverty, those with little are robbed by those with profits 

Greed

It causes disease, more money is made the longer we are sick

Greed

It causes war, to the victor goes the spoils

Greed

It causes addiction, there is never too much

Greed

It’s something that should be removed
