Greed
If power argued with money
I wonder who would win
I find it rather funny
Like arguing with a twin
For both have equally
Corrupted all they touch
Vying so instinctively
All things we want so much
Principals all set aside
And character lacking
We gather both with great pride
Sending scruples packing
The worst of anything to seek
Wanting more than has another
Do we climb to mountain peak
Just to stand above our brother
Power calls to us as if free will
But grants no greater life replete
Greenbacks blessed mother still
When others have nothing to eat
Aye that these two to death would fight
Ending in a rare fatal tie
Our world would be made much more right
If greed in society could die

Thank you kindly, my beautiful Meena. Hope you and the boys are happy and well!
They are happy for now but cant promise about tom as it is their open house day..the results of their exams day tom.😀😀😀
Ah yes! Results from their exams could provide a little anxiety for them, but they are intelligent boys and I am sure they scored well. I hope tomorrow holds a pleasant surprise for all of you!
M the one with anxiety.They are busy playing😀
This is a heck of a piece that really speaks to the dangers and corruption of both money and power. Well done!
Thank you kindly Ms. Harley! And thank you for commenting. I must say that reading one of your posts today fueled me to write a poem regarding the truth behind the Dom/sub relationship. Hopefully I will have the fortitude to post it someday!
I’d love to read it if you do!
greed is one of the seven deadly sins…
Very true! This was beautifully written.
“But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.” (1 Timothy 6:9,10)
