Greed

A hunger like no other A fevered pitch That clutches like a searing iron A unrecogniseable sign Pushing for gain No obstuction in view A pathway leading to the door of wealth Stepping on every foot Pushing on every door No one counted but you A hunger that drove you to a depth of despair Some say an admiral quality Some say unrealistic expectation It's all a matter of view What greed will push you too.

Very true penned words. Too much greed, not enough love, real love for humankind. Thank you for sharing Phyllis. You may be interested in reading 'Peace Is Needed For Pete's Sake'. Sending smiles, Connie

"Unrealistic expectation." Yes! This, however, does not stop the greedy, eh? Congrats on the selection. LOve, daver

Hey, we think the same. I wrote on this too a while back but in sonnet form. Greed is truly the cause of most of our problems today!
