Greed

Greed

Yes we were born with out possession,
the love received was from God and our parents,
no worries, no fears, no troubles and no fuss.
Yes in our mother's arms we put our total trust.

But as some got older, they looked and wanted more,
Then found themselves all too enslaved to money.
The more they received, the more they needed.
Their quest for more became their LIFE.

Their thirst for our need for more was unable to meat.
The more we grasped, the tighter we held on to it.
They con and scham everybody and gathered to hoard,
possessions became their master and lord.

And when their old with their treasures all together,
This is a sad example of what greed has to their lives.
Their need for it still clenched in the bottom of their heart,
Yes at their death they realize it was wrong to be greedy.
To con and scham everybody out of the their money.
So they would have nothing and you with it all.

God Forgive you for your greed
hurting your brothers, sisters all
in the name of GREED.
