Corporate Greed

In boardrooms shrouded by shadows, where light barely seeps in,
Decisions are made that determine the fate of many men.
Cold calculations and profit margins dance on spreadsheets so sleek;
As corporate greed slowly devours the hearts of the weak.

With every merger and acquisition, a little more life is lost,
Employees become numbers, their worth measured by what they cost.
Middle-men with hungry eyes scour the land for new deals to seal;
All in the name of profit, as greed fuels this wheel.

Once mighty titans reduced to mere marionettes on a stage,
Dancing to the tune of stockholders whose voices never age.
Their strings pulled by invisible hands that seek only higher gains;
As they trample over dreams and desires, ruthlessly laying claim.

A land of opportunity morphs into a wasteland of greed,
Where the rich get richer while the poor sink deeper in need.
The air thick with deceit, lies, and empty promises;
As corporate greed becomes the new religion, preached by the most sinister demons.

Sweatshops become factories where human rights are forsaken;
Employees treated as cattle, their pain unspoken.
Their blood, sweat and tears mingle with the fabric they weave;
As corporate greed consumes their souls, leaving them stranded, lost and bereaved.

Our world is filled with pollution, our resources now depleted,
As greedy hands continue to feed on what little remains untreated.
Mother Nature cries out in agony, her voice now but a whisper;
While corporations turn a blind eye, their thirst for wealth unquenched and ever persistent.

Their hunger knows no bounds, as they seek to expand their territories,
Pillaging nations, exploiting resources without any sense of charity.
Leaving devastation in their wake, like a trail of destruction;
As corporate greed becomes the destroyer that brings forth ruination.

But amidst this darkness, there are those who dare to resist,
Rising up against the monolithic force driven by insatiable greed and lust.
They fight for fair wages, for human rights and a world free of strife;
As they chip away at corporate greed, hoping to rebuild, create and give life.

A glimmer of hope shines through the cracks that have begun to form,
As more voices join together to challenge the power and norms.
There are whispers of change, whispers that grow louder with each passing day;
As we learn to stand against corporate greed, reclaiming our voice in a world gone astray.
