Greed flaunts itself in all aspects of life
And carries a ravenous appetite for corrupting
What it consumes.
The desire to obtain and possess beyond necessity.
Invade and conquer to assure our dominance
For generations to follow.
With that in mind, let’s carve off the crust
And take a look within.
Greed as a whole and the role it plays in our surroundings; Carefully as not to let it gain total control.
Greed will always be with us never faltering
Every step of the way.
Therefore establishing a society
That goes against it is simply utopian.
People will always compete and accumulate power.
The desire is in our nature.
Any attempt at an egalitarian
Lifestyle is doomed to failure.
When you’re faced with choices
That may not be beneficial to sustaining life,
Often times the decision overpowers conscience thinking.
And avarice takes over,
Making possessions priority number one.
Nothing else is relevant.
All things desired immoderately.
Wanting absolutely more than is enough.
This way of thinking is detrimental
To the actuality of bettering one’s self.
The more you have,
The less of a burden life has become, in theory.
Truth be told,
Complexities arise when avaritia is deeply seeded within.
Nothing’s ever enough!
