Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

The Greedy

The greedy have no compassion
They stare with their steel looking eyes
Rob and take for themselves
To get the money they want
With blank faces, watch others suffer
Act corruptly, however they choose
Laws do not matter to them
Yet they get by, with their evil ways
Disrupting others lives, caring for their own
Without a thought what it may be like,
If it were them in another's shoes

Paul Callus May 18, 2019 at 8:32 AM The greedy and corrupt who you so aptly describe are very much present in our lives, Heidi! And somehow they seem to thrive, but I believe that Karma will eventually deliver justice. ~ Best regards // paul Heidi Sands May 18, 2019 at 10:51 AM You are right Paul. That is true. Let there be justice. Thank you for your comment on this :)

Tom Cunningham May 16, 2019 at 2:30 PM What pleases me Heidi is that they can't take their ill gotten gains with them when they go. Tom. Heidi Sands May 16, 2019 at 2:35 PM That's true Tom. Thank you for your comment :)
