Greed and Grief

As not a person on the street Nor as someone with much need I confess I lie with Greed They are taking care of me It started with applause Happiness without due cause Which soon became all I sought What depression that wish brought For I thought about the end And realized life depends On the way I will to bend To benefit these lifeless trends And soon I realized I won't feel love as you or I So I selfishly decide To disappear into the tide But as I disappeared My wish became my fear For your face was filled with tears I'm sorry I left you, my dear
