Taking the PPC4 - 52 Weeks of Poetry

Prompt 32 (4th March 2024)

Greed

So much we suffer from the sin of greed
Every choice weighed as profit or loss
A very few are rich, though most in need
The poor man is considered only dross

Suffering is very acceptable
Whenever a fat bonus may be lost
Because the only ones electable
Will eventually count up the cost

To disenfranchise the electorate
Happy to accept the corporate cash
Their bold lies becoming inveterate
While all their workers are considered trash

With far far more than one could ever spend
The greedy contemplate our sorry end
