Analysis of Methods Of Greed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Questioning who has been approved,
To obtain prosperity...
Using a method to greed secretly to do.
Depends upon their status ro have it.
Regardless,
Of their religious or political affiliation.
Greed fed to feast,
In a society based upon materialism.
And lives to live for impressions to make.
With pretensions awaited to fake them.
There will always be people,
In all fields of professional endeavors or not...
Finding methods of greed,
To excuse a need to feel more important...
Than those they assume to believe,
Are beneath them.
Then to perceive them to be,
You know...
Them, they and the others less fortunate?
The ones thieves depict them as...
Being Jealous and envious,
Of their crooked.
Dishonest.
Fraudulent.
Deceiving, hypocritical way of life!
