Greedy

"Leaves Hearts Barren, Cold and Unassailable"

In the dance of desire, where hunger breeds,

Greedy hands grasp, sowing selfish seeds.

Eyes alight with covetous gleam,

Chasing hollow dreams, lost in the scheme.

Greed, a hunger that knows no end,

Consumes the soul, a relentless trend.

More and more, a craving insatiable,

In the pursuit of riches, power, and fame,

Hearts grow heavy, burdened by shame.

For what is gained at the cost of another's loss,

Leaves a bitter taste, a moral gloss.

A call for kindness, a brighter word.

For in the heart's true wealth, beyond gold and gain,

Lies the richness of love, untainted and plain.
