Society's monster

In a world so full of greed
Lives a monster of all colours and creeds
He sits on his chair with his top hat
Wanting to dominate and get everyone fat

He has bundles of notes, and coins made of gold
He watches people or so I am told
He watches the ways they live day to day
And knows what he can do to lead them astray

He displays adverts of metal, bricks and ideas
Until people are in debt and in the height of their fears
He laughs out loud knowing what he has done
His bundles of notes all just for fun

He knows deep down these things wont bring true joy
He knows that underneath its all just toys
He’s made people feel they need to have these things
Just to fit in and be in with the bling.

So he carries on, people none the wiser
Until the other man, that old miser
Looks around and see's what is real
For it is coming to the end and emptiness he feels.

We live in a society of greed and deception
Yet we let it carry on without any detection
