Greedy

To an extent we are all greedy-
Trained to want too much but it's
The need of greed that torments
Some of us.

This greed for power and money
That corrupts us all and robs us so quietly
Of our morals
Manipulates us into
Futures full yielded
To being hungry.

Please excuse me now...
My overweight feline
Is hungry again.
