Notes About The Poem

Greed, a Vampire

Greed, a vampire, we chose to feed Desire addiction, we did breed It has shrouded, light of our soul How then to redeem, our misdeed We’ve strayed away from our life role Heart cries out, wishing to be whole Frankenstein feeds off our life force Pushing us into a dark hole We now stand still, filled with remorse Negating feral thought forms coarse End commotion, by cessation Heeding not vampire, shouting hoarse Silence, our orientation Endless, vibrant meditation Fear falls away, we cease to sway Flowing thus in jubilation Bright blue skies replace, dark clouds grey Divine love and light, our mainstay Ceasing to size, we vaporise Day and night, to God’s glory pray 17-November-2021 ''V'' New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Greed -- certainly not based on need -- has always been and continues to be a dingbat's creed.
