Greed is the most attractive commodity
That almost, all of us crave for
At one time in our lives
Yet, it is the one trait
That is capable of making the best among us
Become the worse among us.
All of us are guilty of greed’s influence
At different times in our lives
Greed comes in various forms and shades
It wears many different guises
Yet, we become the willing victims of it
Because of our need to survive
A need that is not based on hunger alone
But on our desire to satisfy our greed.
Greed is so attractive
It is capable of corrupting
The best among us
Because of our need for objects and things
All of which are not necessarily
For PEACE and TRUE happiness
Yet, greed makes us to crave for
Money and power
Lots of money and more power
Than we really need
Because it conditions us
To seek fame and recognition
Just to be loved more than others are loved.
Yes, attractive creed is capable of
Turning a good person
Into an unpleasant person
One who is not easily liked
Respected and appreciated
But if the person who suffers
From the desire to please greed
Recognizes the affect greed had on him
He can be made to understand
That all of the possessions of the world
Are not treasures
But mere obstacles
That are designed to keep one back
From acquiring true love,
Peace and Real happiness.
