GREED by IG Abiaibo Jr.
Greed is a disease of pot bellies,
of tales that are make believes,
of corruption dancing loops
through years of hidden truths
Greed is the bullet that kills
faster, when set against cyanide pills,
it is the very notorious reason
for our country's guilt of treason
against the labouring masses,
yielding unexplainable loses
Greed is the synonym of damnation,
a sentence placed on a nation
whose only seeming sin
is hope on altered human beings
Greed is the grand genesis
of the mass hysteria that persists,
governing everyday life
as wicked monarchs wielding knives,
it remains a constant presence,
an undying monstrous presence
leading our reality to sudden death
whilst in pretence of promised birth
Greed is the mother of suffering,
guised within seductive offerings;
it is the most beautiful tower
housing the deadliest powers,
it is the sweet voice of promise
caging souls for futuristic null peace
Greed is a barren woman;
with no faith in God and man,
a retarded school dropout
whose only aim is painful drought
of the state in which it dwells;
of the womb from which it hails
Greed is a god
that blesses with multiple swords,
not for protection;
for far greater destruction.
