“An ill of greed has befallen the land,” “A quickening sickness which seeks to prey…” “Where wealth accumulates and men decay.”

Notes: I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR HERE..I DID NOT WRITE THIS. IT WAS WRITTEN ON A TWO THOUSAND YEAR OLD PIECE OF STONE ON DISPLAY IN JORDAN BELIEVED TO BE PHOENICIAN.

All I did was change the synonyms to make them modern.
