Leaves and thorns

It is greed in you that motivates you
To do all evils maiming conscience.
To block greed's entry, your skin must grow thick
To bear heat and cold and tread leaves and thorns.

I didn't do it because of the underlying greed that's prevailing, but it is about greed, doing the right thing at the right time using your clout when you have it and what for and what reason.

Don’t undermine fear.

One buys with greed
And sells with fear
In a Stock Market.
You march with greed
And retreat with fear.
Fear is the car’s brake.
You can dash ahead
Only when the brake is strong.

Lust is Satan

Lust leads to greed;
Greed leads to pride;
Pride brings envy;
Envy brings jealousy;
Jealousy breeds hatred.
Hatred breeds chaos.
Lust is the root.
Chaos is the blossom.
No God can stop it.

World Of Greed

Subliminal messages
in a world of greed
They start you young
To sow the seed

To get you to agree
to what the powers that be
want you to be

They'll even take your country
if they feel the need
will we ever be truly free
in a world of greed

Shed Your Greed

See the history
Read the scriptures
Greed persists
Since birth
In all human beings
Take any color
Cast or creed
Those who win over it
Are winners
Those falling prey to it
Are termed losers
In lives battle field
Be a winner
Shed your greed

With Wishes to Erase Reality

Their own greed has driven them to madness.
Now they want a 'fix'.
To restore the benefits.
Since from their fingertips,
Greed is diminishing and has slipped.
They are in a traumatic fit.
With wishes to erase reality,
And any involvement with it!

Desired

His Dreams tagged
Success to others
Greed his Escape

A flower he seeds
Away her, he keeps
Safe from his senses,
Empowered by His desire of reach.

Growing the power into his greed
To touch her as made impossible
Desire inspired by her his Icon.

Life Is Like A Spiders Web

Life is
Like a spiders web
Many tiny strands of
Desire, relations
Greed and love
Woven together
Makes it complex
If desires are fulfilled
Life looks rosy
If relations with
People are nice
Life is happy
Without greed
Life becomes easy
When love is all around
Life is like
A merry go around

Serve-by Cauchy3

Serve..
Peace is not served by lips.
Greed to plays at finger tips.
Care is not served by lips.
Greed as tyrants all will rip.

Wounds are split and fires are lit.,
Helms you men as dogs will sit.
Tyrants’ tails and heads may pass.
What a shame is master tasks.
