The Greed Stampede

Stampede! Stampede!!

See the stampede
See its breakneck speed
See where it can lead
See how it can feed!
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede! Stampede!!

See its pushing
See its shoving
See its elbowing
See its clawing
Wonder where is its seed?
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede! Stampede!!

See its brushing
See its crushing
See its thrashing
See its slashing
No remorse for bloody deed!
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede! Stampede!!

See its aggression
See its oppression
See its suppression
See its repression
Heartless cruelty indeed!
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede!Stampede!!

See its mobbing
See its robbing
See its jobbing
See its fobbing
It’s the festival of greed!
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede! Stampede!!

See its snobbery
See its usury
See its forgery
See its thuggery
Its abominable breed!
Stampede! Stampede!!

Stampede! Stampede!!

Where will it bend?
How will it end?
Who will it rend?
No one can fend.
No one can weed!
Stampede! Stampede!!
