Greed

8 1 2
                                    

Tolls of morning bells --
Pass the wicker basket for
Men under their God.

-

A crack of the whip --
Sitting in splendor while slaves
Sow the crop of greed.

-

People beneath feet --
This is a country in need
Grey suits turn blind eyes.

-

Devil in your hands --
Yet grasping for more, to fill
An abyss, a void.

-

Wolves pound the war drum --
Sheep march time rhythmically
Aiming to gain what?
