Poetic Verses

The Greed of Wanting

It is quite clear that some of us have become a slave
Being dominated  almost entirely by the thing we crave
Being so overwhelmed and captivated by this form of addiction
Thus allowing the mind to be overcome  by any form of intervention

That quest at all cost for the apparent almighty dollar
Seemingly being weaved by those who  have some power
Have been  a factor that have caused some to sell themselves short
Never taking time to think what  type of future they may have bought

The question  is what have become of things like morals and ethics?
These situations have  demonstrated that they are now in a gross deficit
Sometimes it is very hard to find someone who is seem capable
Of living up to or  demonstrating that they have some sort of principle

That great rush to attain  riches at  any cost
Even if it is acquired no matter what else got lost
Would gladly destroy relationships, family and friends
Readily focusing and  fixed  no matter whom it offends

Who could remember those day when  some people felt absolutely
Insulted, when offered any type or any form of charity
Always feeling that it was theirs and  only their responsibility
To chart their path to success when  they were in poverty.

Today those whom we considered the middle class
Those are the  one whom appears  to fall very fast
When there seem to be any recession or any financial  adversity
They are the ones that give themimpression that they cannot adjust suitably

 
There are also some who have no remorse or regrets
Of using that very powerful and  seeming irresistible force called sex
That has transcended all races, classes even genders and  has been  indeed
A very profitable  profession  because it is always in need.


As this recession continues look for those drug barons
There will have the money for to flaunt and for dispensation
And because of the situation will garner lots of interest and attention
But to those who partake remember there are  consequences  in such a situation.

So always be vigilant and let this be always your creed
Make a concerted effort to separate  those wants from  the needs
The wants may be many and that can cultivate such a great greed
But focus on those need they are much easier to  feed.
