Greed And Wreckage

An infant is brought into being,crafted out of earthly elements 
Out of soil,out of water, breathing air moment after moment.
Nerves get nourished,strength is acquired as blood circulates through veins 
The sheer love of her as nature gifts the first glimpse of consciousness. 
Slowly things transform as seed sprouts into a towering tree 
As the muscles are flexed,chest spreads wider and will is free.
Contained with posessions hedonistic desire hinging on self worth 
The piled up matter of earthly elements absurdly tries to conquer the earth.

Sandeep, the seed of greed flourishes! The seed of need nourishes! But, the seed of need never flourishes from the seed of greed that only nourishes greed!
