Notes About The Poem

Entangled Web

in a world
of magnificence
and beauty
of mystery
and elegance

resides the seed of greed
the trace of evil
the fabric of good
in one mixed bag

they coexist
entwined
as life on earth
in its web
entangled

You have penned the true world wide web here -- a mixed bag, all tangled up, as you put it! Cheers, Gershon (Soup Mail, please). ~ Gershon

It is greed that robs from us, the beauty and magnificence of our planet and one way or another, if it doesn't stop all humanity will suffer from this greed of a few - thank you Line - Lindsay

Indeed so much backpeddling is in order. Seems a bit late for a good recovery.

Good. There is also the existence of greed for getting everything free. People thik of the greed for money.I see it as an appetite and lust for what others have accomplished and any gains THEY created. And demanding it as theirs. To me, it's nuts!

Yes indeed there are many types of greed. None are flattering.

That's why it is so very important to notice the goodness to find balance.
