The Greedy Person

I see my nieces

I see my nephews

I see the future of my sister's children.

I see the future of my brother's children.

I see the future of a new baby, 

Maybe mine, Maybe a stranger's.

Those futures shine like stars.

 

I see those futures dismantled

By a man or a woman too greedy

To care about the little life

They destroy.

 

A greedy person selling

Those innocent lives

Those bright futures

To another greedy person.

I see a disregard for human life.

I see a disregard for family.

I see a disregard for one's own humanity.

 

These people are only out for themselves.

They make their living putting babies lives on the shelves.

If you see something say something.

That greedy person could be anyone or yourself.
