Freedom and Greed

Life gives you many different reasons to smile Reasons of love peace and happiness You forget at times everything you have At times all you see is the dark side You take your freedom for granted Without realizing what you have You realize when it is too late You have freedom to speak your opinion To be yourself and reach your dreams and goals Having the sky as your limit Always believing that you are going to succeed You finally open your eyes and look around Waking from the dream world of peace To face the real world of trials and hardships For the first time you see your life for what it is The world is so full of greed greed based on money and powerful people It starts when people put money before everything in their lives Greed does eventually take your freedom away Your freedoms in all aspects of life Gets you into a bad spot in the world Pushing away all your friends and family You eventually feel alone in your struggles Soon enough you get back on your feet Enjoying your loved ones time again Waking up to happiness and peace every morning You continue to cherish all your blessings from then on

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Cheryl. I will not be reading poetry for a few days as I will be gone from Friday until Monday. I look forward to reading more of your poetry when I return. I wish you a weekend filled with good health, love, and loads of inspiration. Love and Blessings, Carol
