Stop giving greed a bad name!

By Stanley Collymore

I selfishly do whatever I want to and don’t in the

least care how my actions affect anyone; for the

way I see it, always have done and will most

certainly and unaffectedly carry on with is

that it’s simply a matter of them or me!

Quite bluntly, and in other words, a

dog eat dog situation. And don’t

you suggest or actually ask me

to alter that in any way, for

as it stands, it admirably

suits my personal position right down to the

ground I willingly admit and quite freely

and unapologetically say. And if you

don’t like what I’m doing, well that

forthrightly is your problem and

not for a single second do I

intend to make it mine.

Narcissistic and greedy you’re quite at liberty

to call me if you choose to, but do I care?

Absolutely no way! For while, without

a solitary concern in the world I’m

liberally raking the dosh in, you

with your pitifully outmoded and evidently

unworkable notions of creating a caring

and kind-hearted society – whatever

that means in reality – are the ones

who’re constantly struggling to

make ends meet on austerity.

Something that doesn’t at

all affect those like me.

Author’s Remarks:

Greed is a part of life it’s said and with some who support it not only assuming but actually saying that it’s an integral part of everyday living and even humanity’s existence. Adopt whatever stance you want to take as regards it, but when you look at the likes of Tony Blair, David Cameron, Jack Straw, the Kinnocks, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell, Tom Watson, Alan Johnson, Tessa Jowell, Margaret Hodge, Chukka Umunna’ Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper, Alan Ball and all the other lowlife scum who infest not only the political life within Britain but life generally, do you still want to pretend or even contend that greed is something that is absolutely indispensible or even worst still commendable?
