Glitter
Eyes blinded once more,
The greed sparkled in eyes,
The lure of lucre rose very very high,
Hand was raised for grabbing,
Several others came stopping,
We all had sighted the worth,
And were behind it tightening the girth,
They caught my outstretched hands,
I also threw out my most compelling bands,
Our legs came out for hits,
Each one of us in determination had lips bit,
Our palms moulded into boxes,
As we turned toxic,
All pell mell and broke loose,
We were hitting each other like mad moose,
We could have killed,
For the billed,
We did and the victor ran,
With the trophy in train,
As an after thought we solaced,
It was not our fate so the worth did not grace,
Soon we had sighted another glitter,
And in horde ran the greedy litter.
