Needy

The rich are the needy

just want to win 

too greedy

storing and hoarding 

buying selling

converting to gold

here on the take

starting with yours 

they'll never loose

stand over merchants

school gang bullies 

boardroom suites

oligarchy tyranny 

Plato's democracy 

rule by the few

god given 

they believe 

they must be king

much much more

than piles and queues

it's control over you

don't bother them

people die 

rough on the ground

one person's greed

makes ten others poor 

still they grow old 

never really knowing

money can't buy wisdom

true learning is earned 

the rich are too needy

they'll never quite know 

to share is to grow

to look within 

what life is truly worth 

gratitude wins
