Greed Be Us
We are all greedy bastards,
Every single one.
In your mansion,
False eyelashes,
Plastic parts to make you feel
Whole.
Religious fanatics,
Moral superiority a lie.
God to make it all seem right.
And I,
Trying to survive-
Deceiving even myself.
The devil we run from,
Ourselves.
If we had a heart at all,
We couldn't be content to live
Children hunger, people suffer.
We give 10 percent,
Pat ourselves on the back,
Sleep tight.
Every single one.
