GREED

Of all the deadly sins there are
my favorite one is greed.
It motivates me in my work
and serves a greater need.
Without it, currency would fail,
economies collapse.
Instead of taking chances we
would stay home and take naps,
and no one would invent a thing
or plant a single seed,
or harvest crops, or sell us food,
if not for simple greed.
So next time someone tells you greed
will land your ass in Hell,
explain to them they'll starve to death
if that's the crap they sell.
