GREED
Opulence with a side of fanciful decor
Prestige follows your name
Yet commoners are mere cattle
To be taxed and oppressed until poor
One nation is not enough
Conquest and death you spread
Taking more and more by the sword
Slaughtering sons and brothers just to show you are tough
Your greed for power and riches
Transcends the comprehension of those good souls
Crying in agony beneath the heel of your boot
As you hide behind authority that money buys - cowardly bitches
Free In Thought

Poetic Series: Seven Deadly Sins
I will be releasing several thematic collections of poetry inspired by a particular topic. If you have a topic for a series that you wish to recommend please do so in the comments section.
This series is inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins. I'll be sharing my personal thoughts about the subject in a poem inspired by each deadly sin. It should be a lot of fun!

Brilliant and ironic as I was just speaking to my son about the seven deadly sins yesterday and how today greed seems to be rampant in our society. So many people are not gratiful for what they've got. Keep sharing.
Thank you... :)
