WHATS IN A NAME

hello, my name is greed.
I work for a volunteer organization that helps homeless children on the streets of NY.
I give up 12 hours a day to serving soup, cleaning bathrooms and hanging out blankets.
Yesterday I came across a man that didn’t have change for the parking meter.
I handed him a few coins and thanked him for his time.
Hello, my name is greed

Hello, my name is vanity.
I work for a building/demolitions company tarring roofs and tearing down walls.
I love my work, often staying late to finish something off or get something ready for the next day.
Sometimes, when someone at work doesn’t want to clean the tar off the brushes
I do it.
Hello, my name is vanity

Hello, my name is Tray Carter and I have just one question for you

What’s in a name?
