like to drop at the feet of my love

I have on hand a miniscule million.
They say that current times are getting tough.
I scarce must keep a fat bloody billion!...

Avarice
None will step up, own up to their advice;
we pay the price for the choices we make.
Like plumage of Birds of God are mistaken
for wealth, it’s a roll of the loaded dice.

As man ceaselessly aspires
For the things he greatly admires
His avarice seldom expires
But kindles lofty desires
That burns like raging fire
Long after his quests areacquired...

Greed
In youth, one's greed may turn gold into bliss
but one grown poor and old need just learn this:
Who does not hold an urn in which to piss,
must earn joy then, through love, not avarice...

As the Earth Smiles
Sky and mountains smile formed in avarice want
Misty breath plume and roll
Green lit stance bow and reverb
At lights plantiff touch
Nature beauty in simplicity
As eons stranded creations
Moving the irresistible force...

The Devil's Own Bug Wbm
A mosquito had bitten me twice
I swore that he wouldn't bite me thrice
I set the whole woods ablaze
With fire and smoke to amaze
He bit me again with avarice

The Social Ladder
Avarice breeds contempt,
disrupting equilibrium.
Forgotten graces; haughty imps jubilate,
keenly listening, memorializing news
of people quietly receding.
Slippery transgressions ultimately vanquish wiles.
X-out yawning Zacchaeus....

Blinded By Materialism
Those with piggish hearts I'd berate
for desiring each worldly prize.
Avarice is a shameful trait.
Materialism blinds their eyes.

Spring's Restless Child
She lies crouched, with avarice eyes
Peering out from faux summer’s guise
Not yet the spark to light up the night
Nor quite the voice to scatter with fright
Just a glint in June’s fiery eye
Poised to pounce as warm winds draw nigh...

Param Gati
Temptation in lust cravings,
Anger I do not seek,
Dispelled by avarice fears,
In vanity I fell.
True action with devotion,
Destroys every misdeed,
Kill my burning desires,
Beyond the gates of hell:
Mokesh in divinity;
Atmas' ultimate plea....

cobwebs
Atypical fanfare
watch me with recoil
old dowager puts on her entice
withered cobwebs
of renewal desire
somewhere in the city
she resides
selecting her prey
on social milieu
Greeting avarice like a dear friend
over a coffee and carrot cake
