In the Name of Profit (Trigger Warning, may be unsettling, but it is our reality)

Poem

I’ll shoot my fellow man in the head

In the name of profit

I’ll watch as schoolchildren get murdered

Dead

Time and time again

And do nothing about it

In the name of profit

I’ll serve you foods that puncture your heart

In the name of profit

I’ll take credit for your art

I'll rip you apart

In the name of profit

I walk past the homeless and hungry

I'm only focused on money

In the name of profit

I’ll pollute the earth

Light it with a torch

And watch it scorch

In the name of profit

I’ll pretend I’m a prophet

Sell you hopes and dreams

Knowing you’ll believe.

I lie cheat and steal

And there's nothing you can do to stop it

Sell my soul to the devil

In the name of profit.
