Greedy People

So much trouble’s caused by greed,

With people feeling that they need

To buy a never-ending list

Of goods, just so they can exist.

And then want more and more each day

As greediness comes into play,

And though to some it might seem odd,

Money soon becomes their god.

They worship it and quickly find,
It’s never absent from their mind.

It’s not they need such endless wealth

To maintain their life and health;

No, they just hanker for the things

That endless goods and money brings.       

And as their love of money grows

They often trample over those        

Who aren’t as greedy, and believe

That all should give, not just receive.

Unfortunately, there’ll always be

Some people who just cannot see

How nasty their behaviour seems

To people who have other dreams,

Than gaining all the wealth they can

From when their earthly life began.
