Greed: a successful public figure

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

If I could sit with every person

And learn their history

I would conclude their troubles and mine

caused by systems whose principles I disagree

Beyond the surface level facade

And the masks worn to conceal treachery

At the heart of our world’s major problems

Is an endless abyss of greed

Constructs created to suit a few and laws to punish the many

Mass incarceration, entitlement; a thriving patriarchy

Racism, sexism, classism, individualistic vanity

Rabid consumerism, the destruction of Earth’s resources

Done to feed a growing “need”
