greed

greed

brother of desire,

slave to a taste of power,

a drug like hold on the money,

the mind

if desire is self

-consuming,

greed is

consumption

of your d

o

w

n

fall,

that which to you are blind

like,

the rotting teeth of a tot

having eaten

one too many sweets

greedy for one more

taste of their

self

-made poison

self-made billionaire? ha!

more like soul

-selling,

fooled to give

in

nod away,

while the leash

strung

around you tightens its grasp

clutching

onto remnants of the past,

now a

pawn

to those playing the board
