Greed©2022TonyFallon0413
Did the new egg come before the old chicken
Did the word program come before the quicken
Does everyone's death cause so much brazen greed
Is a final will more valid than a deed
Dead people bring cousins out of the woodwork
Who take things without seeing the county clerk
Most of them are bad few intensions are good
They act like they grew up or live in the hood
Within a few moments the mans house is fleeced
Showing no respect at all for the deceased
The dead one has barely gotten the last rites
Before their assets are seized by parasites
Who took him to the chemist to get his shot?
Who put out his garbage can when he forgot?
Who ran his Honda and antifreezed his car?
And listened to stories of some movie star?
Who called to see if he could afford his bills
For electricity to bar winter chills?
Who advised him about his doctors booking?
Who gave him eggs milk and butter for cooking?
In my formative years my parents advised
He who expects little is rarely surprised
We do our best without any accolades
Especially with those headed for Hades
