I’m not a tree
providing shade to its feller
I am greed
taking what I want
giving nothing back
hoarding it all
me me me is all I know
and all that counts
have no care, have no fear
no soul can stop me
for in their hearts
I'd drive a spear
born to devour, born to take
I am the fitness they need for survival
I am Greed
and greed is my only rival.
 
Consuming time
consuming space
in the end when I can take no more
I'll explode and start a brand new race
am what drives the beginning
am what causes the end
mother's love, father's fame
the teacher, the lesson
I am God's will, his greatest creation
I am Greed, I am nature's inspiration.
