The Altar of Greed
A marriage of convenience
a mail order bride
slavery for one
a marble statue for the other
He bought beauty
along with a human being
she wanted money, a way out
and killed to be free
He deserved to die
she deserves her prison
sacrifices to the altar of greed
have been paid in full
with 10% the devil's due

Greed, gold diggers, and men possessing women are the oldest stories of the world and will never change. So, we look for love and offer love unconditionally and maybe, just maybe we'll create something special and then let the world be.
