Notes About The Poem

FORM - A MELTING SNOWBALL: each line decreases by 1 syllable

Greedy

Unforgivable vanity Egotistical excess Inexplicable lust Roaring ugly beast Green wicked eyes Cold stone heart Ruthless Greed

Greed - the anti-spiritual characteristic. I STRONGLY and TOTALLY agree with your accurate poem; greedy people probably wouldn't agree initially because being greedy they would want many, many, more lines. Takes good to see the good in the smallest of large blessings. This poem is a truth-gem! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
