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
