No Greed
Location
No Greed, No Indeed;
No neighbors slaying trees
to harvest their vicious cash --
slashing the earth, killing the birds, infecting the water
with their filthy
poisons,
hacksaws,
gravel.
No politicians lying to me
for fame and fresh millions of greenbacks --
cutting down bills, crushing the poor, smashing any opposition
with their lustful
pens,
tongues,
suit-jackets.
No sir.
Time to replant what has been lost,
slay our greed with a virtuous heart --
put on gardening gloves of empathy,
put down our ravenous torches of gluttony
burning in the fuel of cash --
extinguish it with a river of generous water --
No Greed, No Indeed
