Profit Over People In The Depraived World Of Commerce?

Recommend

My fellow man have we lost all hope

Has our integrity run dry

Have our morals ceased to believe

The clever deception of a material life

Has afflicted our corner of the universe

Sky rise buildings, greed, the executive curse

valued higher then the southing caress of life

Inequity starves our children

Is this what was fought for in our ancestry

As they censor our valid concerns

Pillage our resources, drain the well

Are we so different, a separate race

A starving child for every meter of space

This is the dark slope of the moon

What will be our achievement

Will it be a blank epitome of accumulated shame

How did we stand by as our mothers denied their fortune

Do we value money more the a healer

invested interest has claimed the world

Around apathy the learning curb

furthermore, oil slick shore

If only our leaders represented our concerns

As the forestry burns 

Corporation earns

Toxic fumes, profit over people

Heavens aren't so poised on their steeple

We conspire in our own ruin

As we don't speak up

Are narcissists running the show
