Avarice

As man ceaselessly aspires
For the things he greatly admires
His avarice seldom expires
But kindles lofty desires
That burns like raging fire
Long after his quests areacquired

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
