Title:Greed

Description:A 27- line poem of wisdom



Going through the hardest substance
What an heart of love.
Desiring to live a beautiful life
Is this the right time?

The wish to have all want
Called for the breaking of covenants
Arose barriers
That leads to destruction
The devil won?
And the end of dreams
A purpose down
And a glory buried

Have I what the time says?
Does my want match the time song?
These rings not in the Greedy web.
Only the melody of human wants play.
And the lackadaisical spirit..
Which hikes into a sharp corner...
Is there a bypass?
Never will there be.

Take not their right.
Or peace knows you not.
Let the labourer harvest what he planted.
For this thy name is shielded.
And thy house knows joy.
Thy finance got a breakthrough.

Greed promises satisfaction but won't.
