Fear vs. Greed

This is a struggle between Fear and Greed
As soon as I enter the anthill again
A white-hot buzzsaw churns my guts
Shrapnel rips my heart wide open
Machine gun tears my body to shreds
A man eating grass is not always crazy
Sometimes he’s just hungry
Sometimes the straight jacket makes the lunatic rave
And some people are dead before reaching their grave
This is a struggle
Between Fear and Greed
Which I intend
To lose
