Gluttony

Greed sways motionless It plummets into the valley of worthless Is it immoral stealing It does obliterate opportunity Selflessness is a river of unbreakable unity It jeopardizes our freedom, A determination that makes you fearlessly overcome It is destroying our hope So now how can we cope Corrupting all the goods, food, money, Wealth doesn't come swiftly So much evil never leads to a good act Now there are so few haves Leaving the world with have not Ask yourself how did hell get so hot ? That makes these things an addiction It macerates beyond recognition It chastise you even beyond death So help someone less fortunate why there is still time left Innovative an unbeatable peace; between man and the surplus environment Cheerfully uniting you with your rudiments Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. Punishment of. Psalms 141:4 Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Mahatma Gandhi
