Selfishness and Greediness
Egoism isn't a sin
But not encouraged
When selfishness goes with greediness
Goes without empathy and sympathy
He thinks only of himself
Upon his own benefits
When in happiness
He keeps all to himself
He is the only one to deserve
When in sufferings
He says he should not be
The only one to suffer
When people suffer
He has no feelings for them
He always yearn for more benefits
Than he deserves
Greediness is always standing by
In his heart
A narrow view of thinking indeed
He doesn't realise
The world is not only his
Not even his God
