opinions about how people are money hungry and how the world strives for material things.
One perspective drives this society to blindness.

Media glamorizing greed and vanity as a virtue.

succeed in anyway you can, love your money.

teach your children the fundamentals of life.

teach your children to strive for nothing else.



Seeking admiration of your possessions from your peers,

forget the essence of why you are truely here.

Pave the world for your convenience and starve the earth,

embracing your pride and destroying any rebirth



Some of you will agree with me,

some of you won't.

you want the finer things in life,

you want it all.



Take a look at who you are.

Take a look at what you are.



False smiles and laughter forced from inside,

working nine to five to apparently provide.

Your children love you and still they cry.

Lost between the cracks of money and time.
