GREED -the deadly sin : Classical Poetry

written by Poet : blue-rose


The invisible, visible hand of greed

Self interest

The pursuit of self interest

Economics of greed consumed

Feeding the deadly sins

Society harnessed greed for economics

A slave trade to want, have, “me”

Materialism, self interest

The give me must have, -greed

Of anything, everything

For the benefit of self,

and the self, in the interest of wealth

A capitalism of eating itself,

greed ate America- then the world

Cannibalizing itself

The unethical robbery of borrowing,

against tomorrow.

Endangering our freedom, destroying hope

Destroying opportunity

Until the barons of wealth, commerce

Big business owns it all

Controlling all the goods, food, money,

luxury, entertainment.

Sucking the life force out of the worker

For profit, until there is no profit left

And they ate their own future,

in greed, excess.

It has been the golden age of greed.

Now there are so few haves

Leaving the world with have not’s

Greed gambled the stock market,

All commodities, pushing for more greed

With money no-= one really had

Still rewarding themselves with greed

Until there was nothing but debt

Money on fake paper

They gambled with more greed

And they lost.

Now all is lost.

Everyone sold their soul to greed.

And to have, what they could not afford

Now there will be only

They have not.
