The Greed Machine ( please respond )

by Dale J. Conway - Cancer

There they go
The Sheep
Can you see them?

Down on all fours
Waiting at the door
Like ten dollar whore's
Screaming more, more, more

Chained with fools gold
Being bought, being sold

They travel in The Greed Machine
Fueled by dead presidents turned green

With the Wolf at the Wheel
They rape, they steal

But...

The engine dies,
The mad wolf cries,
and
all the sheep rise

Reason for writing:

    "I wrote it for the sheep, they cry when they sleep.
Listen for them, listen for the wolf, listen to yourself."
Actually, it's just some late night thoughts. But, it's the first time I posted something, and I would like some comments, good or bad.
