Greed is good??

The world sometimes seems to tell me that I should

Start believing that greed is good

To work hard, greed would propel me

Elevate my standard in my community

In a world with resources finite, I would attract

More resources towards myself in fact

And when I work hard and produce more

My community would reap the benefits for sure

More resources would further opportunity give

To those around me, so that more people would live

In greater prosperity, creating a cycle positive

Thus greed would be the gift that continues to give..

*

I don’t know if greed is good or not

Greed has led to many wars being fought

Though businesses have boomed because of greed

It has served to increase dissatisfaction indeed

Greed has the potential to make someone exploitative

It is a never-ending curse, not the gift that continues to give
