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.

Greed, probably one of the first causes of everything evil; that and selfishness. Powerful poem.

"Insensitive humans cannibalize their brothers with no end in sight." This resonates with me also.

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
