Personification of Avarice

A consequence of for profit healthcare

Personification of Avarice

Karma tastes like bitter metallic

A gunshot wound delivered without delay

A meeting for all the lives you throw away

For a profit, your greed pre-existing, justice is the cure

//

Charming smiles winning empathy

While you expired alone

Paying a high cost for your throne

It’s what you deserved

//

The world would be better off

If more CEOs lived in fear

Of what happens when you sacrifice others to line your pockets

If the personification of corruption made them them easy targets

Never forget, we are united in our hatred of you
