Too Greedy Poems | Examples

Palmistry

Upon our palms
Hidden lines of the unknown
Revealing the secrets of 
Our past, present and the future
Wouldn't they change
For a brighter future
Maybe they won't
Because
Man is too careless
Too stubborn
Too greedy
Too selfish
And too proud
To change
Even his own image
Even when he's given a chance

070621PSCtest, Bite Size Poem No 11, Line Gauthier

Just a Moment of Your Time

I'll let you go,
In the morning daylight; 
I do have pain 
Yet I don't want to regret.

Time is too greedy
Minute passes as a flip,
You will depart 
When I wish to hold you.

I don't want to be apart,
Yet I don't pester you;
I'll leave you alone 
For a little while.

My heart is too frightened 
To feel the pain of separation,
I'll not tell you to stay,
I respect your dreams.

Eyes stares at beautiful times
I controlled my rolling tears, 
I wish to fill you in my eyes
Stay with me for just a moment.

Just a moment of your time 
Can fill our days of separation,
I just need to fill you in my dreams, 
Spare me Just a moment.

Little Miss Clingy

My Little Miss does not do 'aloof'
One kitty dash as I sit, and poof!
Lap kneading, too greedy
Head butting, so needy
I declare love, but she demands proof-

No Sunday sleep-ins will she allow
Every 6 a.m. is time for chow!
Pawing, purring alarm
Furry butt on my arm
No snooze button shuts off her meow-

For Janice Canerdy's "Limerick" contest

The syllable count was confirmed on howmanysyllables.com

Paul Reuter

Your father was a rabbi
and for you religion was not a hobby.
Serious as business 
was a belief endevour

until you converted into Christianity,
as you were concerned with eternity.
Spiritual solace you gained
from Lord but hardly.

Telegraph with news was speedy
and you were a business man
involved with money
but never too greedy.

Problems

We have a problem with the color of our skins,
We have a problem with our religions.
We have a problem with what we learn,
We have a problem with how much we earn.
We have a problem with the cost of our health,
We have a problem with the cost of the Stealth.
We have a problem with where we live,
We have a problem with how much to give.
We have a problem with what we think,
We have a problem with the missing link.
We have a problem with who should lead,
We have a problem with how many we can feed.
We have problems with caring for the needy,
We have a problem with those who are too greedy.
We have a problem with our young and old,
We have a problem with “do as you’re told”.
We have a problem with all kinds of pollution,
We have a problem with vague, half assed solutions.
We have a problem with our lack of respect,
Especially when it’s us we continue to neglect. 
IT'S A HUMAN THING

A World In Need

What does this world need?
seems there is so much
so many people with so little
needing to receive a special touch

So much disease all around
many lacking nourishing healthy food
there's many rich lands have a lot
too greedy to themselves it's not good

Infections abound throughout this earth
good water lacking being not purified
bring death to many poor souls
so sad for many have cried

But it's all material nothing will last
spiritual is world's greatest need
for that is truly everlasting
as God it's author this true indeed

For this world is wrapped in sin
death is coming for it is sure
but God's remedy is there to receive
providing Christ as world's only cure

As Christ God's son has died
to cleanse this world of it's sin
so the need is to believe on this truth
and then to enter eternity within

Eye By Odnono Translation

i'll shove heart wide open [no ties!],
mop away uneasiness, doubt,
will breathe in truth instead of lies,
joy instead of greed breathe out loud.

soul'd  turn into a spacious house  
with no ceiling, walls, floors to mop,
no protection against burglars -
it's open, with no doors or locks.

lamp's like in temple so needy  
a lighthouse for those in the dark,  
they - with their kindness too greedy -
like us once would pass this benchmark  .

i'd want my heart to fit inside  
universe of unearthly round  
dance of eternal souls and try  
widening sky dome with low sound.

in immense home with no guests [word!]
uninvited, noone's here in vain,  
not on good people rests the world  
but on those happy in the rain.  

let birds, ghosts, planets and people  
spin round in such beautiful dance - 
you've come to enjoy life's sequel,
smile! to be free there's one chance.

it's important for heart to grace  
through melancholy and dark spite,
behind  contempt and lack of faith  
a spark in everyone of light,

for an eye in chest to unwind  
with not a blink bravely to lead  
and with its deep look - no more blind! -
to heal, foster, save and to heat.

Autumn Breeze

silent breeze, with swift precison
 
strips without notice.
 
taking all that it touches with it.
 
but it is too greedy,
 
and takes more than it can carry
 
leaving a trail of briliant reds and yellows
 
-the evidence of a grand theft.
 
with no one to challenge the autumn breeze,
 
it continues over yonder in search of the fabled fall
 
and its gilded trees

Toothache

A little boy comes up to me
And said mister your tooth hurt
So I said yes just little
He had black hair wore an avengers shirt

His mother said leave the man alone
But he didn’t hear a word she say
He was the main attractions
Here In the dentist office today

He went by a Trinidadian lady
Who offered him a candy?
He shook his head nooooo
And said that give you cavity

Then he was back to me again
Mister you have very long hair
And he did not hear his mother
As she told him come over there

So mister if your tooth hurts
Will they give you a new one?
His mother said is he bothering you
I said oh no he’s just having fun

It’s silly how I end up here today
Guess I was too greedy last night
My stomach full but not my eyes
Just had to have another bite.

But who can blame a guy
For enjoying a well done steak
I know it was greedy of me
But I’m only human gimme   a break

I know it’s not broken
But you may think it’s dumb
I think a bone from the steak
Might have hurt my gum

So now I am here for hours
Still in a lot of pain
But the time is going fast
As this boy has us entertained

Political Advertisements

I’ve been watching political commercials,
Though they don’t tell me for whom I should vote;
They just say why I shouldn’t vote for the other candidate,
Of these I am taking close note.

I shouldn’t vote for this one who is a liar and that one who is too greedy;
This one hasn’t done anything good and that one steals from the needy.
This one wants to raise taxes; that one is morally corrupt;
This one the president bashes; that one is a bit too abrupt.

If someone doesn’t tell me and tell me precise,
Why exactly I should vote for them;
I am going to do what I’ve done more than twice -
Put Mickey Mouse down as a write in.

2nd Blog-Ish

I'll have to put off writing my bio because there's something I'd like to ask of you soupers...:)

You might have already seen the notice beneath a few of my recent poems, but I'll post the 
same content here: 

I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some really hard-core critical feedback on my 
writing. The people on this site are so nice and their comments always give me such 
encouragement, but I would love some critical comments as well. 

Hope this isn't me being too greedy ;)

Will count on you all!

A Home Called Earth

it's green, blue and charming
i can feel the warm, moist of the ground
i was born here 'till the day when i die
a home called earth

the air that we breathe
the sun which brings life
the ground where the trees grow
the sea where we can feel the wave 

all are magical
all are beautiful
all are natural
all are gifts from heaven above

but we are too greedy
we build, we destroy, we consume the earth
with no regret with no satisfaction
in our home called earth

we don't remember when the rainy season should come
we never felt the sun shines too bright today
maybe we have lost our way
how can we destroy our home

we may look different and talk different
but you are my brother, my sister, my family
let us share more love to this earth 
a home called earth

The Lighting of the Tree

In our little town all is as it should be
We gather down at the Christmas tree

Us simple folk are not too greedy
We all bring gifts to give the needy

Light the tree and sing our songs
As everyone seems to get along

Especially bright this time of year
Everyone has Christmas cheer

I love the lighting of the tree
The entire towns hospitality

How everyone shares their love
Giving thanks to the Lord above

We live what Christmas is all about
Come on over and check it out

You’ll find love flowing abundantly
The night we light our “Christmas Tree”

Bleed Green

When I first met you, you didn't care.
Then we got closer & my pain you shared.
I thought I could pour out my soul to you,
but you disguised yourself as my friend.
You only had one thing in mind--him. He was all that mattered.
No matter how you got to him, whether it hurt others, you didn't care.
You were too greedy to see the pain in many people.
You wear that green like you own it.
All the while he ignored, you persisted but on the 'Down Low'
Making others look bad while you're "perfect."
But we know your game & we won't play.
Only low lives like you play those games.
We have important things to worry about, like what color hat to wear.
That may not seem important to you but for us normal people
that's more important than playing your childish games.
Fortunately, we have our lives to live;
it doesn't revolve around the 'him' we want
or the 'her' we wish he didn't have.
If I were you, I'd shed my green clothes, hair, make up & all,
before I actually bleed green.
