"Greed's Devastating Grasp"
Greed, a voracious beast that consumes the soul,
Leaving devastation, chaos, and a hollow role.
A ravenous hunger that can never be satiated,
It ravages all, leaving hearts desecrated.
With insatiable desires, it takes its toll,
Ruining lives, shattering dreams, and losing control.
It poisons minds, blinds the sight,
Leading down a path of endless, darkest night.
In its wake, a trail of anguish is left,
Relationships shattered, trust bereft, and hope bereaved.
Families torn, friendships sundered too,
All for the sake of greed's relentless pursuit.
It fuels corruption, injustice reigns supreme,
The vulnerable suffer, while the greedy bask in obscene dreams.
Their power and wealth, a fleeting, false thrill,
But at what cost, their conscience to still?
Oh, greed, a curse that's spread like a deadly stain,
A plague that's ravaged humanity, leaving scars in vain.
May we awaken, and see the harm it's done,
And choose a path that's guided by love, compassion, and the light of the sun.
