I know that it’s not only me
But I feel people, selfishly
That hoard and stash all that they see
Are cursed as if they’ve heads of three!
And ‘cause they think they have more need
They won’t admit to outright greed
Even if on knees we’d plead
To cries for help they will not heed!
How sad their lives must be each day
They know not of the price they pay
When to the God of Glut they pray
Their humanity just falls away
And yet there’s folks that do admire
To avarice they do aspire
And if allowed, they’ll muck and mire
No matter if the stakes are dire
We see them daily on the news
Disgusted with the path they choose
To waste while never paying dues
A game they’ve fixed, so will not lose
I’m often guilty of the same
In fact we all should take some blame
That greedy habit’s hard to tame
Instead for largesse we should aim!
This message might be too simplistic
It’s for those heads that seem the thickest
I ask they be not egoistic
Avoid becoming narcissistic
A kinder world would be my druthers
If wore the shoes of stricken other
The ones we think so often bother
Such grace I know we would uncover
Fulfilling dream would be a feat
That with much less we’d be replete
Our transformation be complete
When selfishness is obsolete!
