Who's The Clever One? Poem by Alessandra Liverani

Who's The Clever One?



You think you are so smart and clever
You've trapped someone in a trap forever
A fellow human, it matters not
For fellow humans you don't give a diddly squat

Money is your commander-in-chief
Its absence gives you lots of grief
You want some more and then some more again
It has become your ultimate friend

You count your mansions, one, two, three, four
Your cars, your jewels but you still want more
You are addicted, make no mistake
You must have antiques that are no fakes

No, the only fake around is you
You'll lie and deceive til your nose turns blue
Because you must have much more than you need
The trap you've fallen into is the one called greed
