Drowning In Greed

We need so much more Even when no more is all there is We want to go further Even when the end begins another end What lies between need and greed? Is it a thin line, a blink, a flip or a bridge? A bridge so short and fragile A bridge made of selfishness, betrayal and lust Hanging over the troubled waters of envy, jealousy and hatred Waters that never subside The tide is always on the rise Rising to quench our selfishness, betrayal and lust Greed that feeds as long as it lasts In a flood of greed we are happy to swim Paddling to nowhere but our egos When the storm comes we get lost The tide is too high to the find the bridge The bridge of need is lost We can’t cross back to what we truly need Until we find that bridge of love The troubles water will overcome us And we will drown in greed
