Greed does not care if you refuse to listen, and give it a feed. Greed does not care if you go without a feed, to fill more and yet more pockets, so others cannot feed. Greed does not care about the reason you give it a cheep feed, Greed does not care if the...

A life of things. Material and meaningless objects. I know that the contents are trivial but what am I without the case? What have I to show for myself and my life? A pack of cigarettes I stow, as I feel that I cannot live without them. The case is nearly empty now, holding only the most...

A Tale of Greed and Redemption His eyes, sharp as daggers, seek endless gain, Never satisfied, his greed he must sustain. Gold and silver shimmer in his fevered dream, But in the quiet night, he hears a hollow scream. He crucified Isa, now a stain in his wake, Broke every bond, more gold he must take. The sparkle in his eyes, dulled...
