Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Does Greed Have a Name

Does greed have a name?
Does she call in the night?
Does she answer when you call for her?
Does she dance with you often?

Does greed care 
About anyone but herself?
That others need household goods too?
Does she leave anything on the shelf?

Does greed agree that she is totally one-sided?
Concerned only for self, completely selfish?
Is her heart hard?  Her mind made up?
Is it all about her?

Sneha Bagria March 21, 2020 at 1:38 AM Splendid work, makes me wonder in what all forms greed comes and reflects. Caren Krutsinger March 21, 2020 at 7:05 PM I am smiling. Seeing the greed come out in many ways during this sobering time.

Maurice Rigoler March 17, 2020 at 4:10 PM Yes, and much more. I'm surprised you personified Greed as a woman and not a man or even a bratty child? And did you leave out Mr, Trump for fear of retaliations? It's one of his many traits. / M Caren Krutsinger March 18, 2020 at 5:09 PM No, I did not even think of him. I truly do not think most men are greedy which is why that one stands out.
