Running Wolves Poet I do not know?

Materialistic

Greed sparks
the ravenous cravings
of a secular mind.

With insatiable hunger 
their spirits covet
desiring beyond need.

Insensitive humans
cannibalize their brothers
with no end in sight.

Where is compassion 
when legalities 
have no morals.

Jan Allison March 4, 2017 at 3:21 PM I couldn't have put it better myself - sadly this poem could have been about a member of my family after my dad died:-( I know after my husband's cancer, if you have your health you are truly wealthy and material things mean nothing. Hugs jan xx Running Wolves March 4, 2017 at 5:59 PM Thank you for your kindness, and I agree with you, but I'm sorry for your loss... hugs...
