David Smith Poet Didactic

Need

Need is colourless and odourless,
And needs no formal address.

Need is need,
And greed is greed,
Which has long been decreed.

So why then is this news to so many,
When it comes to spending even one penny.

A news feed,
Born out of greed, 
Should never add colour,
Or odour, 
To decide the order of who gets a feed,
When need is need, 
And greed is greed,
Which has long been decreed.
