Greed Poems - Poems about Greed

Dried-up, ___a stream___ in the moor, no-man’s land. When a soul dares near— a gunshot blooms / Red / the barren soil will feast on anything. You said amid this desert stands —an oasis— A land of innocence, but where you crown sins. (Greedy, yes, but that’s all humanity ever is.) I begged you to point me to the shrine yet I am left stumbling, ...blind... Before...

When we were still kids Each day comes with it's ecstasy Steadily playing at night During the full moon Right there we share our dreams Telling different stories Without hate, envy or jealousy Love, laughter, sharing without greed all we knew. Our dreams, our inspiration Always aspiring with conviction Even amidst restrictions We keep dreaming without limitations...

It's a fresh day To play in a new way To convey each light ray More pray, no delay, fair pay We stay where we lay What can I say? Stand up, quit your sit Take a breath, rest a bit Ensure you stay fit Get ready for the hit Grab your jumping kit Fall not into pit As he'd walk into your block In seconds, he'll...

You hurt the bees but you want the honey You'll kill the children but ask them to make money You take our hope but want us to have dreams You burn our houses but want us to make peace What was it that made this world so mean? ...

Who wanted without the knowing And grew without the sowing Standing there in awkward stance Viewing all with eyes askance Asking without reasoned why Reaching vain to touch the sky For in whose hands with futile grip The beams of sun and moon doth slip And lips that sing the lullabies Seldom heard but often cried...

The sting of betrayal, a wound deep inside, Friends turned to foes, nowhere left to hide. They steal my trust, a precious, fragile thing, Only their own gain, the bitter fruit they bring. "How will I get over on you?" their constant refrain, A selfish ambition, driving them insane. No thought for others, only their own greed, A twisted desire, a poisonous...

As power climbs, shadows spread; Greed takes root where trust has bled. A gleaming crown may rule the lands, Yet puppets bow to shadows' hands. Faithful hands may wield the blade, But shadows linger where trust is made. A mighty throne will splinter, decay When loyalty bends, and hearts betray. When power devours, the truth...

Wealth, a siren's charm, alluring and bright A pillow's softness, a thimble's gentle might It provides for earthly needs, a feast to behold Yet, in its depths, a darkness unfolds Oh, wealth! Where is thy dominion? Poverty's cold grasp awaits, a dismal throne A worm on a hook, luring the unsuspecting prey Into a realm of excess, where virtues fade away With dastardly...

I say I grow without greed, But my wants, desires, and needs, Blur in the obscurity of my own mind. My heart isn’t filled with hate, It doesn’t wish to be late, To the race that is my blossoming maturity. All will wither, all will die— And so will I, But my thoughts will keep racing, Pacing, Across a room that doesn't exist, Searching for an...
