How Far Could Our Greed Go

How far could our greed go?

When will we stop punishing our victims?

When will we stop rewarding the corrupt?

When will we start speaking the truth?

How far could our greed go?

Will it be when all the green we see turn into dust?

Will it be when all the heartbeats we hear fade into darkness?

Will it be when our friends that give our world its balance, cease to exist?

How far could our greed go?

Will it be when all our children die of hunger and thirst?

Will it be when we run out of countries to run to?

Will it be when we run out of fingers to point at?

Will it be when we forget who we are?

How far could our greed go?
