The Need To Greed And Compete



The need to feed greed and compete,
Has created problems...
Today,
That has made excuses to make...
An abnormal  craze of life to live,
Normalized to delude and fiction...
As a temporary inconvenience,
For a society on the edge...
Of having its unique democracy,
Ruined and pushed over a cliff.
With this done to demonstrate,
How easy minds can be used to illustrate...
The taking of false beliefs,
Spewed out from the mouths...
Defending to protect deception to accept it.
Regardless of the evidence and proof to see,
Openly and free to receive.
Yet people would rather pay to endorse,
The supporting of destroying themselves.

To please and follow behind,
Someone more familiar with corruption.
Fraud, crime, laws to disobey.
And betrayal done to commit treason.
Although...
Have been made to believe as if cemented,
In steel and concrete.
That they are being replaced,
By a multitude of ethnic faces.
Yet...
Their being replaced,
Seems more to be a wish to want...
Done to observe it witnessed,
Them to do to themselves.

Should or should not this activity,
Be envied?
Or thought to be a process to initiate,
Jealousy among the masses.
Feeling to have been purposely ignored!?

Who is it THAT blessed with brilliance,
Could or can.
Would to feel they should,
Explain the benefits of this madness?
THEN to feel obliged to sacrifice,
The living the rest of their life...
Being subjected to eyeball rolling.
Evil stares.
And receiving anonymous emails.
From people who go out of their way to ask,
If attention had been given to prioritize...
Messages sent to ensure them noticed!

The need to greed and compete,
A doing of craze these days...
Of mental instabilities.
Establishing yet another industry.
Created for the wellbeing of all!
Hoping for a cure to heal their nutness!
