Never Satisfied
To watch a person full of greed
is such an awful thing to see
never satisfied always want more
no contentment never being free
No amount of financial riches
is ever enough to fulfill them
like Oliver they just want more
unhappy with their creme de la creme
This greed begins to eat them inside
effecting their mind emotions and heart
chewing them away nothing good left
if only they would go back to start
If they would only just realise
that one brings in at birth nothing
at death they can't take any out
but in between can show something
Something that benefits their fellow man
living a life of kind loving thoughts
looking out for others not just self
this worth more than all golden pots
