I am

Selfish
Capitalist
Money launderer
Tax fraud.
I am an evil, evil person.
I find the pennies in penniless hands
I am not a good man.

I am 
Rich
Lucky
Bathing in money
Thief.
I am a bad, bad sort of guy.
I find the secrets in the most honest of people
I am not a good man.

I am 
Littering
Rude
Angry
Conner.
I live a sad, sad sort of life.
I smash the hopes of up-and-coming dreamers
I am not a good man.

I am 
You
Me
Us
Between.
I am every victim of opportunity.
I am your darkest outlook
You are not a good man.
