Francis Duggan Greedy Poems

The mineral wealth of the Country claimed by the greedy few
You may say to this tell us what is new
It is said about greed that much does crave more
Another thing you would have heard of before
...

To the Earth Mother who feeds us disrespect we do pay
That future generations may have to pay for one day
Of stealing from Nature's resources billions some do make
Why are we so greedy that we take and we take?
...

So many greedy people living in this World today
The more they have the more they want with them it is this way
So lucky the compassionate the caring and the kind
The sort of person that you are is living in your mind
...

Some bank directors they are so greedy some sob stories from them one does read of or hear
If their annual gigantic profit margins are down just a bit from last year
Directors who are paid millions in annual salaries how greedy some people can be
In a World where millions are hungry and live in extreme poverty
...

They finance your home and they finance your car
A necessary evil is all that they are
Those behind on their car loan repayments their cars they re-possess
Of the financial hardship they cause their customers they couldn't care less
...
