Blinded By Materialism

Those with piggish hearts I'd berate for desiring each worldly prize. Avarice is a shameful trait. Materialism blinds their eyes. June 23, 2022 Greed Poetry Contest Sponsor: Margarita Lillico Syllable count checked with howmanysyllables.com

I think we all have to be a little "materialistic" because things just don't last long enough to be worth very much, and so we have to keep replacing them with more, and hopefully, better things. Avarice is, indeed, a shameful trait, though. Fortunately, I don't have enough money to be overly materialistic. Good insight here, Jenna.

True, there are things we need, but many we only desire. Thanks for reading me and leaving your kind insight, Jim.

A wonderful/true write. I have had people lie/steal from me for things/stuff. Have a blessed day.................

It's despicable, the things people do for material gains. Thanks, Paula.
