In Whose Interest?

In whose interest
Is interest?

The poor who starve?
The rich who are afraid?

The planet that gets trashed?
The animals who get eaten?

God who gets ignored?
The Devil who prospers?

And, so, Friends,

In whose interest
Is interest?

Money
Talks,
It says,
I want, I want, I want.

People
Say,
We need, we need, we need.

Which
Voice
Will be heard?
