Yes! I am greedy
Like the dog for the bone,
For moments of privacy
Moments to be alone.

Yes! I am greedy
To not be a recipient of hate,
Greedy to not have someone unknown decide my fate.

Yes! I am greedy
Greedy to gain some knowledge
Greedy to be far away from anger and rage.

Yes! I am greedy
To live in a world thats free
Where every gender, caste and religion can live with glee.

Yes! I am greedy
To have a life so fine,
Greedy to have someone who I can truly call 'Mine'
