This Thing Known As Greed

Some people with each other are born to compete
To be best in their neighborhood or best on their street
To be best in the Nation or even be best Worldwide
It is all about self and it is all about pride
The happy with their lot in life now seem rare
So many aspire to being a billionaire
Some people it does seem are never satisfied
Though financially well off with luck on their side
The praises of billionaires the aspirational do sing
Money more so now than ever does seem the in thing
The more money some people have the more they seem to need
It does seem infectious this thing known as greed
The competition for success it goes on every day
This is how it is and it will always be this way.
